Management cut full year adjusted earnings before interest and tax guidance to about €140m after a costly April strike and a slower revenue ramp at Paxon. Quarterly revenue of €1,046.4m and another small net loss...

The market is trading the recent softness, yet the fresh report shows a laundry equipment specialist that is still producing solid profit and cash generation.

Warehouses De Pauw trades like a quiet income REIT at €22.32, and the latest numbers put the balance sheet and valuation debate back in the spotlight.

Fagron stock closed at €23.20 on Friday, rounding off a month where the share price drifted about 3% lower despite a fresh set of half year numbers. On a short view the market looks lukewarm. On a longer view the headline is different. Earnings per share over the trailing twelve months sit at €1.25 and the P/E multiple of 18.5x still sits below healthcare peers. The key tension this season is not the income statement. It is the balance sheet. High debt remains the central issue that long term...
