The news check keeps the assessment current.
General analysis — not personal advice.
Hold; consider adding gradually if buybacks continue at a meaningful pace and the share trades at a clear discount versus a conservative NAV scenario. Note the ex-dividend price adjustment and that buybacks may support the price short-term but do not remove portfolio/market risk.
Strong order intake, improved margins and reduced net debt in the industrial business support the ongoing HOLD signal despite weaker performance in the listed portfolio.
The market reacts positively to the strong industrial operations and lower debt, while weakness in the listed portfolio continues to limit overall performance.
HOLD is the call. Positive is the market mood. Low risk means less can go wrong.
