Strong AI demand supports growth
On July 30, 2026, Reply released its H1 financial results. Revenue growth
was strong (7.4% yoy to EUR 1,311.9m), exceeding our expectation by 2.4%.
Growth was driven by AI projects moving into production, supporting data,
cloud and cybersecurity demand, while Silicon Shoring helped win
consolidation projects. Region 1 benefited from Germany's recovery, Region 2
improved following business development investments, and Region 3 was
supported by strong UK government and defence demand. France and the US
remained comparatively weak. The H1 EBITDA margin declined from 18.3% to
17.8%, in line, as productivity gains and personnel cost discipline were
offset by higher services costs, regional investments and the absence of
prior-year one-off income. Management did not publish guidance for 2026 but
expects sustainable growth and disciplined cost management. Structural AI
demand supports the investment case, although selective spending and
regional weaknesses remain risks. We leave our target price unchanged at EUR
170 and confirm our Buy recommendation.
