Fourlis Group: 2 for the price of 1 (upgraded to BUY)

In this report, we revisit Fourlis Group’s investment case and update our forecasts to account for the gradual recovery in the retail environment post COVID-19, as well as the growth of the ‘Trade Estates’ real estate portfolio. We have upgraded the stock to BUY, with a new 12M price target (PT) of EUR 5.70/share, using a sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) valuation due to the differing natures of the retail activities vs. the property business. We view the investment case as purely a valuation call and believe the stock has been over-penalised by the market, suffering a 30% reduction in the share price ytd, to well below the level at the first COVID-19 lockdown announcement. On our numbers, the current share price looks to be an attractive entry point, offering 106% upside potential.
