Europe Multi-Industry: Reiterating Buys on Prysmian/Nexans post 2Q26 - We

reiterate Buy on Prysmian and Nexans with >30% upside to our PTs, placing them

among the top-5 most compelling Buys in our multis coverage post 2Q26. Both

stocks have underperformed significantly (-20pp/-12pp vs sector), yet we raise

estimates on solid 2Q performance and favourable end-market exposure (utilities,

datacenters). For Prysmian, we raise FY26–28E adj. EBITDA by c.2–5% (ex-Atkore)

and expect a guidance upgrade at 3Q towards €2.9–3bn, seeing the 1H27 CMD as a

catalyst with >€4bn 2028E EBITDA guidance (ex-Atkore). The stock trades at c.11x

2027E EV/EBIT, a c.39% discount to sector. For Nexans, we raise 2026/27E adj.

EBITDA by c.5–7%, no longer expecting 2027 Transmission under utilisation given a

likely Mediterranean contract. PT raised by 4%. Both screen below sector average on

PEG ratio with above-average EPS growth. (Daniela Costa)
