Narrow Moat Bunzl Stumbles in Q1

Narrow-moat Bunzl delivered a relatively downbeat 1Q trading update. Organic revenue growth was just 1.5% over the period, a sharp drop from the 4.3% delivered in full-years 2017 and 2018. While this figure is well below our expectation of 3.4% growth in full-year 2019, we are hesitant to hastily cut our numbers so early in the year. We therefore maintain our near-term forecasts and GBX 2,360 fair value estimate. Despite today’s fall, we believe the shares are currently fairly valued.
