AZIMUT

Deutsche Bank upgrades Azimut from “hold” to “buy” and raises the 12‑month price target from €35 to €46, signaling substantial upside potential. The upgrade is based on a strong first half with double‑digit growth in recurring revenues and net profit, and record levels of assets under management. In addition, Azimut announced a share buyback program and capital returns expected to distribute around 25% of market capitalization over 2026 and 2027, which strengthens the overall return outlook. » Więcej na de.investing.com
