Jumbo: Not that cheap, but cheerful (downgraded to HOLD)

With another strong year in the books, and a sizeable 52-week rally of 47%, we believe that Jumbo has limited upside to offer in the short term, and have decided to downgrade the stock to HOLD (from Buy), with a new 12M price target (PT) of EUR 21.5/share (15% upside). We have revised our estimates, taking into consideration: 1) the annual company guidance for 5% sales growth and a 20% increase in the DPS for 2019-21E; 2) the 2020E store rollout in Romania, Greece and Cyprus; and 3) the change in the calendar-year store rollout, underpinning a three-year EPS CAGR of 11%. Overall, we view Jumbo as a long-term growth story, and as a well-diversified vehicle to play the potential Greek macro recovery. However, we believe that part of this upside is priced in and would therefore wait for a more attractive entry point, as the stock is trading currently at an all-time high 2020E EV/EBITDA of 8.3x and P/E of 13.8x, on our estimates.
