Research on this stock
46/100 Hold Nexans: A Subsea Margin Story the Price Has Largely Absorbed Nexans is a French electrification cable maker whose PWR-Transmission arm builds and installs the high-voltage submarine systems behind interconnectors and offshore wind, the scarce franchise carrying the investment case. Adjusted EBITDA rose from EUR 325 million in 2018 to EUR 728 million in 2025 while ROCE more than doubled to 21.3%, and H1 2026 Transmission EBITDA grew 21.2% on organically flat sales, but the raised FY2026 guidance of EUR 770 to 840 million is substantially acquired scope from Republic Wire rather than organic acceleration. Rating Hold: at EUR 140.80 the stock sits inside the EUR 130 to 170 acceptable-hold zone but far above the EUR 85 to 91 ideal buy range, with 15.6% of Transmission backlog tied to the delayed Great Sea Interconnector.
