PostNL Playing the waiting game until the end of year peak

Following the publication of the 2Q22 results on Monday, we have updated our PNL model, hereby lowering our underlying EBIT estimate to € 149m or the bottom end of the newly guided range (€ 145m - €175m). With the outlook being heavily skewed towards 4Q22, we believe that PNL is lacking short-term triggers whereas there are some risks on the horizon, including news regarding the change in Belgium's postal law or the launch of Amazon's own webshop in Belgium. Based on our updated estimates, DCF model and peer group multiples, we lower our TP from € 3.9 to € 2.5 ps and change our rating from Buy to Hold.
