Jumbo: The noose is tightening (stays BUY)

We have updated our model on Jumbo, adjusting our estimates downwards, to reflect: 1) pressure from rising input and transportation costs; 2) a slowdown in the network rollout vs. our previous estimates; and 3) its retained dividend policy for the year. The spike in transportation and input costs has caused the name to fall out of investors’ favour recently. Despite the challenging operating environment, we believe that the current share price does not fully reflect the value of Jumbo, given the strong sales performance, management’s track record and the company’s defensive balance sheet, in our view. Our valuation yields 26.6% upside, with the stock trading at our 2022E 11.2x P/E and 5.1x EV/EBITDA, double-digit discounts on 1YF multiples, creating an attractive entry point, in our view. Therefore, we remain BUYers, but we have cut our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 17.7.
