AmRest confirmed at HOLD, TP PLN 21.0 - Eastern headwinds slow down the margin recovery path

AmRest confirmed at HOLD, TP PLN 21.0 - Eastern headwinds slow down the margin recovery path
Following the suspension of activities in Russia we lower our target price for AmRest to PLN 21 (PLN27.5) and confirm our HOLD recommendation
AmRest achieved impressive milestones in FY 21 with 150 gross store openings and a 550bps EBITDA margin expansion, however new headwinds from the East could hinder a smooth continuation of the recovery
Russian operations have been suspended on March 9 with little visibility on a return to business as usual
In the mid-term we expect the interrupted recovery to continue, and we project 22-24e CAGR of 7.5% for the top line and 10.5% for EBITDA
