Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

nebag ag ( (CH:NBEN) ) has issued an announcement.

Investment company nebag ag, which is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and invests in strategic participations, long‑term OTC positions and distressed bonds, now concentrates its core portfolio on an 18.6% stake in Plaston Holding AG, a maker of industrial plastic cases and air treatment devices, complemented by bond and other financial investments. The firm continues to run a lean cost base and actively manages liquidity to navigate volatile markets and political uncertainty.

For the 2025 financial year, nebag ag reported a profit of CHF 0.43 million, equivalent to earnings per share of CHF 0.05 and a net performance of 0.84%, a result the board deems attractive given weak small and mid‑cap conditions and underperformance versus broad Swiss benchmarks. Strong gains in distressed bonds and other short‑term investments offset losses in long‑term holdings, while the company exited Thurella Immobilien AG and POLUN Holding AG and sold its Athris stake, and the board will propose raising the shareholder distribution to CHF 0.30 per share and continues to examine merger opportunities that could give investors a cash exit at least at net asset value or participation in a new structure.

Nebag’s strategic focus remains on conservative capital allocation in companies with limited exposure to geopolitical risks, with an emphasis on protecting value in an environment of rising public spending, volatile markets and profit warnings across parts of the corporate landscape. The company’s cautious stance, higher liquidity share and ongoing search for a merger partner are intended to enhance flexibility and potentially re‑rate the stock, while maintaining an attractive, shareholder‑friendly payout policy.
