Halfords (HFD LN) - Focused on execution - BUY

Halfords H1 results showed strong LfL sales performance, higher gross margin and cost-cutting measures that offset material labour cost and national insurance headwinds, leading to a slight 1.0% increase in underlying PBT to £21.2m. Management confirmed it expects to meet consensus expectations for FY26 underlying PBT (£36.0m-£40.7m), so we leave our forecast unchanged at £38.5m. We believe there is some cushion in this estimate that allows Halfords room for investment during H2 2026. We retain ...

Halfords (HFD LN) - Further optimisation to come - BUY

Halfords FY25 results to March were 7% ahead of Zeus expectations at the underlying PBT level, showing improved second half trading despite tough market conditions and cost headwinds. Net cash, underlying EPS and DPS were also all comfortably ahead of our estimates. The Group continues to make good progress in its shift to more needs-based motoring services and B2B sales to improve margins and revenue stability, whilst still making investments to optimise its platform. Management’s outlook is ca...

Halfords (HFD LN) - Optimising the platform - BUY

Halfords has announced that underlying PBT for FY25 (to March) is expected to be at the upper end of the £32m-£37m guided range. We therefore increase forecast FY25 PBT by 10.8% from £32.5m to £36m. For FY26, with employment cost headwinds expected to be fully mitigated, we increase PBT by 9.1% to £36m. This is flat on upgraded FY25 estimates due to a cautious outlook for the UK consumer. With the operational progress Halfords is making, including its rollout of the Fusion Town site format, we s...
