SNH GR: Reiterate Buy, but lower our TP by 2.0% on a softer Mattress Firm performance

​ Re-iterate Buy, but lower our TP by 2.0% to EUR 5.8/share (implying a 25.5% upside) after H1 17A results.  Solid organic growth, 20bps y/y improvement in EBIT margin in H1 17A and 12.8%/10.2% DHEPS growth in FY 18/19e, support our Buy case.  Benefits from acquisition likely to take longer to materialise. We take a more conservative view on Mattress Firm (MFRM) margin recovery due to supply disruption and store rebranding; and lower MFRM EBIT margin by 130bps/170bps in FY 17e/FY 18e.  Steinhoff Retail Africa (SRA) listing is still the key catalyst for SNH in H2 17e, but further one-off charges related to integration of acquired business remains a risk.
