We keep our HOLD but reduce our target price from €12.5 to €11.5 following Sligro's weak 1H25 results. We continue to view the equity story as a margin recovery play but note that improvements in FY25F are expected to remain modest with the company guiding for a 5.5-6.0% EBITDA margin, well below the Street's expectations.
