** AlphaValue upgrades German industrial services provider Bilfinger GBFG.DE to "add" from "reduce", citing a new "perfectly boring" strategy that ensures predictable earnings

** The new management narrative supports a more durable earnings engine, shifting focus from a "finish the turnaround" dynamic to a repeatable growth-and-margin model, the broker says

** AlphaValue says the new approach "reduces perceived business risk and lengthens the runway of value creation" through an improved contract structure, stronger working-capital discipline, and a clearer capital allocation hierarchy

** The broker adds that Bilfinger benefits from the current macro environment shaped by rising demand for upgrades to ageing infrastructure and energy efficiency improvements, as well as from shortage in supply of skilled blue-collar workers

** Out of seven analysts that cover Bilfinger, four rate the company "strong buy" or "buy", two "hold" and one "sell" - LSEG data
