CECONOMY: Conference call feedback

CECONOMY: (NEUTRAL, Fair Value EUR8,5 vs. EUR8,9 (+27%))
Conference call feedback
Following yesterday’s profit warning, we have reassessed our estimates (mostly for the DACH region) and now expect a 0.4% LfL and a 0.1% reported growth for 2018 with a EUR470m EBIT excluding Fnac Darty contribution this year (in line with the latest guidance). With EPS estimates cut by 8% in average over 2018-2020, we have lowered our FV from EUR8.9 to EUR8.5. Beyond 2018, we believe the current review of store network will lead to store downsizing and closures. Yet, the management’s comments during the call was not reassuring over the medium-term and supports our Neutral stance.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
