Getlink GET.PA
Getlink SE operates the Channel Tunnel, the fixed rail link between France and the United Kingdom, and offers passenger, vehicle, and freight transport services, as well as telecommunications and energy services through its infrastructure. Getlink shows a high-quality business with an operating margin of 35.8% and an ROE of 13.26%, but its high leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 4.5x) and demanding valuation (P/E 31.37) make it vulnerable to rising interest rates, which increase its debt costs and pressure its financial health.

Context and risks
The rise in 10-year interest rates (5.17%) affects Getlink due to its high leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 4.5x) and long-duration profile, making debt refinancing more expensive. Exposure to maritime routes is nil, but dependence on Channel Tunnel traffic makes it sensitive to geopolitical tensions that could affect cross-border trade.

Verdict: Hold. Business quality is high, but leverage and valuation limit upside potential in the current rising-rate environment.
Main risk: High leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 4.5x) combined with the ECB's rate-hiking cycle and rising bond yields, which increases debt service costs and could pressure the dividend (payout of 133%).
