Zalando: New sales and profit warning

Zalando: (SELL, Fair Value Under Review ())
New sales and profit warning
Zalando issued a new sales and profit warning for 2018, blaming a long and hot summer which affected its sales over July and August (did Zalando began to switch its season items too quickly?) and especially September which tend to be the month for transitional season items (the most profitable items for retailers). Zalando now expects to generate : 1/ a growth “around the low end” of 20-25% (vs. “in the lower half” of 20-25% previously) and; 2/ an adjusted EBIT between EUR150-190m (vs. “at the low end of EUR220-270m” previously). The consensus may cut by c.2% its 2018 sales figures and by c.10-15% its EBIT metrics to comply with the new guidance. Sell confirmed with FV under review pending the update of our model.

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.
