Sean Maher adds NEX his green grid infrastructure basket (includes Rolls-Royce, Cummins, Ming Yang) after unjustified YTD weakness on a 14x PER, a 3-point discount to Italian rival Prysmian. Sean highlights NEX’s recent agreement with TenneT (largest in its history) and successful testing of the first 525 kV DC cable which enables a substantial increase in transmission capacity. Furthermore, as digital decoupling from China extends to subsea data infrastructure, what was already a very strong growth market driven by international data volumes in providing highly sophisticated multi-layer cables now has a further tailwind from national security led duplication and redundancy.
