Top of the Street: Ahold Delhaize, ABN Amro, Voestalpine

ABN Amro Bank NV

02/06/2026 14:24

A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's top-ranked* analysts:

** Goldman Sachs cuts Dutch retailer Ahold Delhaize AD.AS to "neutral" from "buy", citing a weaker U.S. revenue outlook as falling SNAP participation and slowing grocery volumes offset improving performance at its U.S. banners
** ING raises Dutch lender ABN Amro ABNd.AS to "buy" from "hold", citing capital return prospects, wealth management growth, potential bolt-on M&A from H2 2027 and scope to become a target of European banking consolidation
** Morgan Stanley downgrades Austrian steelmaker Voestalpine VOES.VI to "equal weight" from "overweight", saying the recent stock re-rating leaves the risk-reward more balanced
