Hannes Leitner has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors tied to Edenred’s latest results and outlook. Fourth-quarter revenue modestly exceeded expectations, and operational revenue also came in slightly above Jefferies’ forecasts, supported by healthier like-for-like trends once the impact of Italian commercial capital is stripped out.
At the same time, the company’s EBITDA performance in the second half of 2025 was solid and slightly ahead of guidance, yet management chose to reaffirm a 2026 outlook that implies an 8–12% like-for-like EBITDA decline, broadly in line with consensus. This cautious guidance, even after the suspension of the Brazilian decree that had been a headwind, points to limited near-term upside and justifies maintaining a neutral, Hold stance on the stock.
According to TipRanks, Leitner is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 14.0% and a 57.78% success rate. Leitner covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Adyen, Wise PLC Class A, and BOKU.
