FY26 EBITDA guidance was raised to mid-to-high single-digit growth, ahead of

consensus (+3.7%) and broadly in line with MSe (+5.3%), due to stronger

shipping.

consensus (+11.9%) and in line with MSe (+15.5%).

Bottom line: slightly positive. Shipping has been the main earnings driver in recent

quarters (including 1Q26) and should remain so, based on market dynamics and
