Axfood (Buy, TP: SEK330.00) - Trouble for Dagab hit results
We consider this a weak report, with adj. EBIT c13% below consensus. The miss was driven by a negative development in Dagab, hit by restructuring costs and disturbances in its logistics operations and costs related to the City Gross acquisition. We expect consensus 2024e adj. EBIT to come down c3–5% on the results and believe a negative share price reaction is warranted.AxFood AB is a food retail company.
