MBWS: Still a lot of uncertainties

MBWS: (NEUTRAL, Fair Value EUR6,5 vs. EUR6,8 (-9%))
Still a lot of uncertainties
Last Thursday, group announced it is still in the process to renegotiate its credit lines. In the meantime, it has obtained loans for a total amount of EUR15m. MBWS also released Q1 2018 sales of EUR82.2m, down 0.8% in reported and 1.6% in organic. The Branded business (57% of total sales) which is the only profitable one posted an organic sales decrease of 19.7% mainly due to Poland (-61.8% org). In view of this disappointing performance, we cut our estimate for organic sales growth in 2018 from 4.6% to 2.3%. Our Fair Value is adjusted from EUR6.8 to EUR6.5. The stock is likely to remain under pressure as long as an agreement with financial partners is not found and a new CEO with a clear strategic direction is not on board.

Bryan Garnier

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.
