https://research-hub.de/companies/United Internet AG
mwb research’s analysts downgrade United Internet to HOLD (from BUY) and raise their price target to EUR 27.00 (from EUR 25.00), reflecting an updated sum-of-the-parts valuation. Despite strong YTD performance in both its subsidiaries IONOS (+89%) and 1&1 (+60%), the analysts see limited catalysts to close the persistent holding discount. IONOS continues to grow strongly, but scalability concerns and global competition limit margin upside. Meanwhile, the Access segment faces execution risk tied to the 1&1 network rollout. mwb research’s valuation implies fair equity value at current levels, with further upside constrained by structural complexity and capital intensity. While the long-term outlook remains constructive, the analysts adopt a more cautious stance near term. HOLD, PT EUR 27.00.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Multitude AG
Multitude AG has achieved a +58% year-to-date share price increase, supported by strong Q1 results and an upward revision of guidance—highlighting investor confidence in the company’s earnings momentum and strategic direction. The scalable digital platform model spans Consumer, SME, and Wholesale Banking, offering growth oriented diversification backed by solid financials (equity ratio of 25.4%, cash position of EUR 326m). Strategic M&A activity and a conservative risk profile support sustainable expansion. Headquartered in politically stable Switzerland, Multitude is largely unaffected by global trade conflicts, tariff disputes, and external shocks such as supply chain issues. mwb research’s analysts continue to view Multitude as an attractive investment in volatile markets. The analysts reaffirm their price target of EUR 12.80 and maintain their BUY rating. The full update can be downloaded under https://www.research-hub.de/companies/investment-case/Multitude%20SE

https://research-hub.de/companies/MTU Aero Engines AG
MTU shares have surged over 30% in the past four weeks, driven by easing cash flow concerns following a strong Q1, optimism around defense investments (with military OEM contributing 8% of revenues), and anticipation of upbeat 2030 targets at the upcoming Paris Air Show. Commercial OEM (25% of revenues) is buoyed by solid order backlogs and aircraft deliveries, while Commercial MRO (67%) is set for strong growth, particularly in narrow-body engine services, despite ongoing supply chain constraints. However, FX headwinds loom, as MTU’s USD exposure is only partially hedged beyond FY25, posing EBIT risks if current exchange rates persist. Reflecting updated FX assumptions, mwb research’s analysts lower their price target to EUR 350.00 (from EUR 365.00), and given the recent rally, downgrade the stock to HOLD (from BUY).

https://research-hub.de/companies/Infineon Technologies AG
mwb research analysts are downgrading Infineon from BUY to HOLD as the stock has rallied sharply from April lows and now trades near their fair value estimate of EUR 37.00. While the company holds a leading position in structural growth areas such as AI infrastructure and xEV, recent gains have frontloaded much of the upside. Although a gradual acceleration in H2 is expected, much of the anticipated pickup stems from inventory normalization rather than a true rebound in underlying demand, suggesting the recovery may be tentative. Persistent FX headwinds, fab underutilization, and softer SiC momentum further support mwb research’s view that near-term upside is limited. In the analysts view, further gains would require a clearer acceleration in the underlying end-market demand or easing macro risks, neither of which is currently visible.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Rigsave S.p.A.
Rigsave S.p.A. positions itself as a specialized asset manager focused on institutional asset pooling and structured products. Following a capital increase in March, which raised EUR 1.2m via a ~23% share issue, the company is financially prepared to implement 17 mandates secured in 2024. These mandates represent the core of Rigsave’s revenue strategy and could significantly contribute from 2025 onwards. The company must manage rising costs during its scale-up phase while maintaining long-term profitability targets. The FY24 report, expected in June, should offer further clarity on the company’s financial performance. mwb research’s analysts incorporate the new shares into their model and reflect the dilutive effect while keeping estimates unchanged. The analysts revise their price target to EUR 9.50 (prev. EUR 13.00) with an unchanged BUY rating. The full update can be downloaded under https://www.research-hub.de/companies/Rigsave%20S.p.A.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Kontron AG
Kontron has announced a EUR 26m contract to deliver GSM-R infrastructure for the Czech national railway operator, marking its third major European rail win in recent quarters. The deal follows a EUR 34m GSM-R award in the Czech Republic in 2024 and a EUR 20m contract in Spain in April 2025, reinforcing Kontron’s leading position in railway communication systems. Despite GSM-R being based on legacy 2G technology, it remains the industry standard under ERTMS. Kontron is also well-positioned for the future shift to FRMCS, as the only current supplier of FRMCS-compliant edge hardware. While the latest order is not transformational, it strengthens Kontron’s role in European rail modernization. mwb research’s analysts maintain their BUY rating and EUR 35.00 target on unchanged estimates.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Circus SE
Circus has successfully completed its capital increase, raising EUR 18.7m through the placement of 1.17m new shares (5.2% increase) at EUR 16.00 each. The offering included a preplacement of 1.0 million shares to new Co-CEO Claus Holst-Gydesen and a group of existing and new investors, including prominent institutional backers from Europe and the U.S. The funds will support the scale-up of serial production for Circus’s autonomous cooking robot, the CA-1, with manufacturing partner Celestica. The first units will launch this autumn in REWE supermarkets as part of an eight-month pilot. mwb research’s analysts adjust their target price to EUR 72.20 (from EUR 75.00) to reflect dilution and reiterate their BUY recommendation. Last week, Circus CEO Nikolas Bullwinkel presented at the mwb research New Food conference, reinforcing the company’s growth outlook. A recording of the event is available here: https://research-hub.de/events/video/2025- 06-03-12-00/CA1-GR. The full update can be downloaded under https://research-hub.de/companies/circus-se

https://research-hub.de/companies/GEA Group AG
At the mwb New Food Conference, GEA’s Deputy Head of IR, Rebecca Weigl, highlighted the company’s strategic growth in its New Food vertical, despite near-term macro headwinds. GEA aims to exceed EUR 400m in annual order intake in Food by 2030, driven by its full-line technology leadership in fermentation, cultivation, and plant-based processing. Under its “Mission 30” plan, GEA targets >5% organic sales CAGR, 17–19% EBITDA margin, and >45% ROCE, supported by cost efficiencies and strong service revenue growth. With improving free cash flow and a >60% cash conversion rate expected by 2030, GEA is also returning capital through a EUR 400m buyback and 50% dividend payout. While the outlook is strong and the roadmap credible, much of this is already priced in—leading to a HOLD rating with an updated fair value of EUR 61.00.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Cicor Technologies Ltd
Cicor has closed its strategic partnership with Mercury Mission Systems, including the acquisition of a Geneva-based electronics facility. Mercury’s five-year supply commitment enhances revenue visibility and utilization across Cicor’s European footprint. Beyond immediate volume, both parties aim to deepen collaboration, which mwb research expects to drive incremental organic growth from 2027 onward. The deal adds momentum to Cicor’s path toward CHF 1bn in 2028 sales. While mwb research views the company positively, recent share gains limit upside to the analyst’s new CHF 135 price target, up from CHF 120. Mwb research maintains a HOLD rating. For further insight, watch Cicor’s recent strategy presentation at mwb’s A&D conference: https://research-hub.de/events/video/2025-05-20-11-30/CICN-SW The full update can be downloaded under https://www.research-hub.de/companies/Cicor%20Technologies%20Ltd

https://research-hub.de/companies/INDUS Holding AG
INDUS Holding AG has acquired METFAB Engineering, Inc., a U.S.-based specialist in precision metal fabrication with ~EUR 7m in annual sales. The company will be integrated into INDUS subsidiary M. BRAUN, strengthening local manufacturing capabilities and supporting growth in North America. Strategically aligned with INDUS' “EMPOWERING MITTELSTAND” strategy, the deal secures supply chain resilience and unlocks cross-selling opportunities. Estimated at EUR 4–6m, the acquisition is likely margin-accretive and funded from INDUS’ strong cash position. Following the recent acquisition of Sunbelt, this marks INDUS’ fourth M&A deal in 2025, with further activity expected. mwb research’s analysts reiterate their BUY rating and maintain their EUR 33.00 price target, offering ~50% upside.
