A Global Powerhouse in the Making Sector: Global Industrials / Energy Transition Current Price: €43.62 | Target Price: €74.50 The Institutionalization of a Global Champion I maintain my BUY rating on Metlen Energy & Metals (MTLN) , raising the 12-month price target to €74.50.

OPAP S.A. (OPAP.AT), Greece's dominant gaming and lottery operator with exclusive concessions across lotteries, sports betting, video lottery terminals (VLTs), and online platforms, is undergoing a transformative merger with Allwyn International AG, announced on October 13, 2025, to form the world's second-largest listed lottery and gaming entity valued at €16 billion. This all-share transaction, pending shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting on January 7, 2026, positions OPAP for pan-European expansion, leveraging Allwyn's footprints in the UK, Austria, and Czech Republic while enhancing OPAP's online and VLT capabilities domestically.Read more

Recommendation: I remain sidelined, NEUTRAL (HOLD );— Slight bearish tilt Rating agencies' views reinforce a mixed picture: post-acquisition upgrades (Fitch to 'B+' IDR with 'BB' notes, Moody's to B2 stable, Morningstar DBRS to B(high) positive trend, S&P to 'B-' stable) reflect improved scale, synergy potential, and deleveraging path, with projected adjusted EBITDA margins largely resilient at 37-38% (S&P over 2025-2027), ~38% (Morningstar DBRS), and above 35% (Fitch pre-revision emphasis on margin expansion via integration). However, Fitch revised its outlook to Negative in December 2025 due to "material exposure to increased UK taxation," which will result in lower-than-previously-expected EBITDA (though not quantified as a sharp margin drop—management mitigated the 2026 impact to ~4% via €84M offsets, revising FY2026 EBITDA guidance to €420-440M from prior higher targets).Read more

Viohalco could get an unexpected boost as Europe tightens rules on imported metals, making it harder for cheaper overseas supply to undercut local producers. The bigger story may be its fast-growing cables business, which stands to benefit as Europe upgrades power grids and electrification accelerates—though swings in metal and energy costs could still bite.Read more

I view GEK TERNA entering 2026 with a robust €6.9 billion order backlog, positioned to capture outsized share from Greece's infrastructure renaissance, yet trading at a discount to peers on undervalued concessions like Attiki Odos. My non-consensus edge stems from accelerated EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) disbursements—€35 billion through 2026—fueling a 15%+ revenue CAGR, overlooked amid near-term macro noise.Read more

A Tale of Two Engines: Coca-Cola HBC (EEE.AT) By the end of 2026, the valuation of Coca-Cola HBC (EEE.AT) is projected to reach a "New Normal." The convergence of the Sept 21, 2026, Developed Market upgrade and the formal closing of the CCBA acquisition creates a unique valuation window where the stock sheds its "emerging market discount" while fully pricing in its "African growth premium." ________________________________________ 1. End-of-2026 Target Price Summary Based on the 2027 forward-looking earnings (the metric the market will be pricing in by December 2026), the projected share price is: • DCF-Derived Target (End-2026): €56.40 • Comparables-Derived Target (End-2026): €52.80 • Consensus Year-End Target: €54.60 ________________________________________ 2.Read more

Titan Cement says the market is too focused on incoming carbon rules and is missing how its U.S. business and a new Turkey plant could lift growth and cash generation. The upside depends on clean execution and avoiding delays or cost shocks as the company ramps greener cement and integrates the acquisition.Read more

Europe’s push to upgrade its power grid could keep Cenergy’s cable and offshore pipe factories busy for years, and the company may be better positioned than the market expects. The bigger question is whether it can turn that wave of orders into steadier profits—while avoiding delays, rising metal costs, and geopolitical shocks.Read more
