PostNL - 3Q23: soft parcel volume growth and increased costs, lowers outlook 3Q23: soft parcel volume growth and increased costs, lowers outlook

PNL's 3Q23 results disappointed with the EBIT of € -11m coming in below kbcs and css estimates of respectively € 1m and € 3m. The miss was driven by a softer than expected parcel volume growth of 1.6% (kbcse & css: + 7%), with PNL mentioning that e-commerce remains volatile and visibility uncertain. Following the soft 3Q23 results, PNL expects the FY23 normalized EBIT to come in at the low end of the guided € 100-€ 130m range (kbcse: € 114m). As we will need to revisit our estimates to the downside, we reiterate our Hold rating and € 2.1 TP.
