Increased risk weighs on HALFORDS GROUP, penalising its rating down to Slightly Negative

The independent financial analyst theScreener just lowered the general evaluation of HALFORDS GROUP (GB), active in the Auto Parts industry. As regards its fundamental valuation, the title still shows 1 out of 4 possible stars. Its market behaviour, however, has slightly deteriorated and will be qualified as risky moving forward. theScreener considers that these new qualifications justify an overall rating downgrade to Slightly Negative. As of the analysis date March 1, 2022, the closing price was GBp 261.40 and its target price was estimated at GBp 248.33.

Halfords (HFD LN) - Optimising the platform - BUY

Halfords has announced that underlying PBT for FY25 (to March) is expected to be at the upper end of the £32m-£37m guided range. We therefore increase forecast FY25 PBT by 10.8% from £32.5m to £36m. For FY26, with employment cost headwinds expected to be fully mitigated, we increase PBT by 9.1% to £36m. This is flat on upgraded FY25 estimates due to a cautious outlook for the UK consumer. With the operational progress Halfords is making, including its rollout of the Fusion Town site format, we see potential for the Group to outperform these estimates. We move from a HOLD to a BUY recommendatio...
