BE Semiconductor Industries (BESI.AS) enters August 2025 with resilient profitability but cyclical revenue pressure. The stock closed the week at 120.85, up 6.91% over 52 weeks yet trailing the S&P 500’s 18.63%. Trailing‑12‑month revenue stands at 0.60 billion, with a 28.17% net margin and 29.37% operating margin; quarterly revenue declined 2.0% year over year and quarterly earnings fell 23.6%. Liquidity remains strong (current ratio 5.73) with 0.49 billion cash against 0.54 billion debt, and operating cash flow of 0.21 billion. The shares have swung between 79.62 and 152.75 over the past year and now trade near the 50‑day average of 121.57. A forward dividend of 2.18 (1.82% yield; 102.35% payout) offers income but raises sustainability questions if the cycle stays soft. This note outlines a three‑year outlook and key drivers for BESI.
Koninklijke BAM Groep (BAMNB.AS) enters the next three years with improving momentum but thin construction margins. Over the past 12 months the share price has risen 116.48% and sits near its 52‑week high (8.44), supported by better top‑line growth and earnings recovery.

The balance sheet shows 500.6M cash against 347.4M debt and a current ratio of 0.97, underscoring the importance of disciplined working‑capital management. Valuation has reset: trailing P/E is 33.70 but the forward P/E of 10.76 and EV/EBITDA of 8.50 imply expectations for further profit normalization. Investors also receive a 3.23% forward dividend yield (payout ratio 86.96%). This note outlines scenarios, risks and catalysts for BAM’s equity through August 2028.
