LPP confirmed at HOLD, TP PLN 14,100 - Brick-and-mortar offensive to complement omnichannel

We confirm our HOLD recommendation while increasing the TP to PLN 14,100 from PLN 6,800 for Poland's apparel market leader
LPP has recovered impressively from the pandemic, being able to significantly boost its online sales and recoup most lost offline sales following the reopening of shopping centres in Poland on May 4, which has been generously rewarded by the share price performance
Shopping centre traffic still lags pre-pandemic levels and we view the brick-and-mortar outlook as rather fragile
Nevertheless, the company plans an acceleration of floor space development to +25% yoy in FY 21/22e with a focus on the value-for-money segment, underpenetrated locations (smaller towns, CIS) and to complement its omnichannel offering
We reckon with FY 21/22e online sales reaching PLN 2.9 bn, ahead of the PLN 2.8 bn company target
