Orsted may pay dividend again after several years
Orsted, the Danish renewable energy utility, recently published its Q2 earnings report, which showed mixed results. The company exceeded analysts’ expectations in terms of both revenue and EBITDA, but fell short of net income estimates. Nonetheless, project developments are on track, and the company’s liquidity position remains adequate. In light of the results, management maintains its 2026 guidance, and announced dividend payment plans for 2027. Overall, Orsted keeps making good progress, so we are keeping the stock on our Equity Top Pick List.
Commodities - Technical Analysis
Gold and silver have broken their downtrends, triggering upward waves that still hold potential for further gains. After a strong retest, the oil price may settle into a range, but there are still opportunities for further gains. Natural gas prices did not reach a new low, but no pattern indicating a reversal has yet emerged. Copper is maintaining its upward trend; it must rise again within the next few days, or the rally could break down. Wheat and corn are also beginning to turn upward again from key support levels after strong retests.
We have revised our DCF model and earnings estimates following the latest quarterly report: we raise our 12-month target price to HUF 210 and maintain our Buy recommendation. If the company can successfully continue its acquisition strategy this year, our increased target price could prove conservative.
Currently, the short-term outlook for the European car market is not very supportive (although there has been some positive news recently), but we believe that the CEE markets where AutoWallis operates could grow faster, similar to last year.
In 2024, the company completed two acquisitions in the Czech Republic, the positive effects of which will be fully materialised from this year onwards. These acquisitions will not only increase sales, but also bring economies of scale. In addition, the focus will remain on expanding the higher-margin service business, which should continue to deliver above-industry earnings growth momentum.
Over the forecast period, we expect single-digit CAGR (7.5%) and EBITDA growth of ~10%. The updated model includes last year's two Czech acquisitions but excludes future planned acquisitions, so revenues could exceed HUF 570 billion and EBITDA could reach HUF 32 billion by 2029.
