Greggs (GRG): Not peak Greggs yet

Greggs has demonstrated a strong trading recovery through FY21, which gave management confidence to accelerate its Next Generation Greggs growth strategy with the aiming of doubling revenue by FY26. The accelerated growth prospects reflect a combination of better opportunities in the property market due to COVID, helped by Greggs' innovation in store formats, and pushing ahead with developing revenue in new channels and underpenetrated dayparts, which have trialled successfully. The growth will be supported by further menu development, where Greggs has a strong track record of innovation, and a greater focus on increasing customer loyalty. Our DCF-based valuation is £31.60 per share.

The share price is trading at a discount of c 36% to our DCF-based valuation of £31.60, which assumes management achieves its ambitious revenue target of £2.4bn by FY26. The P/E multiples for FY22e (19.7x) and FY23e (19.0x) are at only a modest premium to its long-run average (17.9x since FY13) despite now offering potentially higher revenue growth (CAGR 15% through FY26) than historically (CAGR c 7% FY13-19, pre COVID-19).

Greggs - More challenging environment in H224

Greggs has reported that FY24 profit is in line with management’s expectation despite the more challenging environment and slowing sales growth through H224. The more challenging market means that management is more cautious about the outlook for H125 than previously. With space expansion and recovery of cost inflation, it expects to deliver profit growth in FY25 albeit lower than previously anticipated. We have reduced our FY25 profit before tax estimate by c 2%.

Greggs - Good Q324 on strong comparative

Greggs demonstrated continued strong sales growth in Q324, against a challenging Q323 comparative. The company continues to benefit from its multipronged growth strategy of increasing space, extended trading hours, new digital channels and menu development. Management is confident of meeting its full year expectations, helped by marginally lower cost inflation than previously expected.

Greggs - Confident about FY24 outlook

Greggs’ H124 results demonstrate the ongoing benefits of its multiple levers to drive revenue growth as well as a pleasant surprise on operating margin. With a relatively normal environment for input cost inflation, management is optimistic about the outlook for the year. We have marginally increased our profit estimates, which has also fed through to an increase in our valuation.
