https://hacsa.eu/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
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

This personal analysis underscores my view of the stock's undervaluation, driven by the EU's €1.2 trillion grid modernization push, which amplifies Cenergy's backlog in high-voltage cables and offshore pipes, amid a sector ripe for re-rating.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
