Eurocash cut to HOLD, TP PLN 13.8 - Improvement in C&C as retail success remains elusive

We trim our estimates given the more distant perspective of a potential successful expansion in retail and a more severe impact from market events in wholesale
While Q3 still brought negative lfl sales trends in C&C, management stated that lfl sales turned positive in October
The closure of 59 DC stores in Q4 should boost EBITDA by ca. PLN 18 mn
Eurocash finalized the purchase of Arhelan on November 9 at 7x EV/EBITDA
We expect the next share price trigger to come from the outcome of the ongoing review of strategic options
