** AlphaValue upgrades French nursing home operator Emeis EMEIS.PA to "reduce" from "sell", citing operational normalisation and an early exit from its safeguard plan
** "Challenges remain but ahead-of-schedule disposals shed light" on the company's recovery path, the broker says
** Following an asset disposal completing earlier than expected, the broker narrows its 2025 net loss estimate for the company to -€158m from -€218m
** AlphaValue notes a more prudent 2026 outlook, lowering its EBITDAR forecast and expecting a wider net loss due to softer-than-expected growth guidance
** Out of six analysts that cover Emeis, two rate the stock "strong buy" or "buy," two rate it "hold" and two rate the stock "strong sell" or "sell" - LSEG data
