Ackermans & Van Haaren stock came into the results on a quiet winning streak, with modest gains over the past week and month, and a P/E of 13.9x that already priced in solid execution. The headline today is earnings power. Basic earnings per share for the first half printed at €10.39, feeding into trailing twelve month earnings of €20.17 per share, alongside a net profit margin of 11.1%. The market now has to decide if that earnings profile justifies treating Ackermans & Van Haaren as a cheap...

Recticel stock came into this earnings print on a strong short term run, with the price at €13.72 after solid gains over the past three months. The market has been treating it like an earnings recovery story, yet the headline from this half year is more about pressure than celebration. Revenue reached €390.143m, but net income from ongoing activity stayed modest at €9.665m. The strain from discontinued operations, which dragged earnings by €25.644m, is the core issue investors will be...

Tessenderlo Group walked into this earnings day with a slowly recovering share price and a stock still framed as a valuation story, trading at a low price to sales multiple and well below one reference fair value estimate. The headline today is that the chemicals and industrial group has put profit back on the table in H1 2026, with around €1.5b in revenue and about €66m in net income after recent losses. Love the return to profit at Tessenderlo Group but concerned it could still be a value...

ageas went into this earnings season with a stock that had quietly climbed, up about 12% over three months and closing at €74.75 on 28 August. The market had been treating it as a solid, income rich insurer with a generous yield and a low P/E. The headline from H1 2026 is different. The real story is a profit machine leaning hard on margins, with net operating result guidance now above €1.95b and a group return on equity of 15.8%. For investors, the gap between that valuation and those profit...

The market barely shrugged at Qrf Comm. VA this week, with the stock almost flat over seven days and trading at €10.15 into the H1 2026 release. The numbers tell a sharper story. Reported earnings look strong on paper, helped by a very large one off gain that still feeds into trailing figures and helps keep the P/E near 3.8x. For a retail focused REIT, that creates a clear expectation gap, as investors are paying a low multiple for earnings that are flattered by accounting gains rather than...

Ion Beam Applications stock closed at €16.84 after a steady run over the past quarter. The real story is not in today’s modest move. It sits in how H1 2026 earnings landed against a valuation that already prices the company at about 19.9x trailing P/E, below the wider European medical equipment group. The headline takeaway for investors is simple: Ion Beam Applications delivered €323.7m in H1 revenue with a positive net result of €9.3m, and management reiterated at least €32m in adjusted EBIT...

Cmb.Tech stock came into this earnings print with a strong recent run, up about 17% over the past three months and trading around €15.9. The quarterly headline is blunt. The shipping group reported net income of $364.38m on $703.94m of revenue in Q2 2026, supported by exceptionally rich freight markets and capital gains on vessel sales. For investors, the gap between a low 6.4x P/E and a business currently generating substantial cash is the key point to monitor. The question is how long this...

DEME Group stock came into this earnings print with a solid recent run, up about 10% over the past month and slightly higher over the past week. The market has been paying for a construction and offshore contractor that can turn complex projects into consistent cash. H1 2026 results now put numbers behind that reputation. Revenue reached a record first half level of about €2.2b, while net profit hit €215m and free cash flow came in at €231m. For an asset heavy marine contractor, this...

Exmar stock closed at €11.35, with the market still treating it like a high yielding value play that carries real questions about staying power. The new H1 2026 numbers put that tension into sharp focus. Net income of US$53.4 million and a trailing net margin of 34.5% keep the company firmly profitable, yet that margin is well below the 56.2% level seen a year earlier. For an oil and gas shipper, this squeeze in profitability, paired with a dividend yield of 7.74% that is not well covered by...
