FORFARMERS: When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going

We expect disappointing 1H19 results as ForFarmers will be unable to fully pass on higher logistics, energy and raw materials costs to its farmers. It could take a while before the stock will recover because of the unfavourable impact of some temporary purchasing positions on the 1H19 results.
However, we see no reason to lower our € 8.5 Target Price which is a weighted average of our basic DCF valuation of € 8.28 (75%) and our € 9.39 valuation in case of a € 200m acquisition (25%). Our more positive stance (from Hold to Accumulate) is underpinned by our analysis of a most likely acquisition scenario of € 200m as a sequel to the ForFarmerisation process.
