Select Model
Rating:66Neutral
Price Target:
159.00 p
â–²(7.58% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:10/04/26
The score is driven primarily by improving financial health (return to profitability, reduced leverage, and positive free cash flow) and supportive valuation (low P/E with a modest dividend). These positives are tempered by weaker technical momentum (negative MACD and trading below key moving averages) and thin/variable retail profitability, which can increase sensitivity to demand and cost pressures.
Positive Factors
Profitability Recovery
The return to sustained profitability across 2024–2026 indicates meaningful earnings normalization after the 2023 loss. Improving operating profit and net income strengthen internal funding capacity and provide a more durable base for investment, debt reduction, and shareholder returns.
Negative Factors
Thin Retail Margins
Very thin operating and net margins leave limited room for execution errors or adverse changes in demand, pricing, and costs. Even modest pressure on gross profit or expenses can materially affect earnings, making profitability less resilient than the recovery headline suggests.
