Pepkor | Initiating coverage | Optimising the value of basics

Pepkor is the largest non-grocery retailer in South Africa. The group has dominant market share in defensive categories like kidswear, school wear and basic clothing. Pepkor has the strongest value proposition amongst peers resulting in a resilient growth profile. Pepkor can deliver superior revenue and earnings growth (3 yr. earnings CAGR of 20.9% vs. sector of 10.7%.) driven by the Clothing/General Merchandise division and turnaround in the Furniture/Appliances division. We believe the Building Materials division can also improve profitability with an improvement in its customer offering.
