Eurocash raised to BUY, TP PLN 16.0 - Back to basics

We raise our recommendation to BUY from HOLD for Polands largest wholesaler while increasing the TP to PLN 16.0 from PLN 13.8

The 2023-25 strategy builds on the groups core roles of omnichannel wholesaler, franchise organiser and data platform while targeting an EBITDA (pre IFRS 16) level of PLN 1.0 bn in 2025

While our projected FY 25e EBITDA (pre IFRS 16) of PLN 705 mn falls visibly short of the target it seems to us that the market currently prices in an even weaker scenario

We view the 2023-25 strategy as a welcome step towards streamlining the groups complex operations and like the focus on closing the price gap to discounters
