Hennes & Mauritz (Buy, TP: SEK190.00) - Weak Q4 and current trading
We consider this a weak report for H&M, including weaker-than-expected Q4 results, weak current trading, higher-than-expected capex, and a new CEO. We expect c2–4% negative revisions to consensus 2024e adj. EBIT and believe a negative share price reaction is warranted. The weak current trading looks to have been well flagged in the market ahead of the report.H & M Hennes & Mauritz is engaged in the sale of clothing and cosmetics in Sweden and internationally.
