We reiterate our HOLD on Zabka, as well as our PLN23 target price. We continue to like Zabka's long-term growth potential but are concerned by the disappointing delivery in like-for-like growth since the group's IPO. This is offset, however, by a faster roll-out of new stores, which in our view safeguards the group's high growth equity story for the time being. The valuation multiples we attach to Zabka remain broadly unchanged at 13.0x EV/Adj. EBIT 2026F and 18x Normalised PER 2026F, reflecting...

We reiterate our HOLD on Zabka, as well as our PLN23 target price. We continue to like Zabka's long-term growth potential but see limited short-term catalysts to justify an expansion of its already rich valuation multiples. We currently stand below Visible Alpha consensus on Adj. EPS, mainly driven by higher financial expenses, while we note that this is the second time in a row that Zabka has missed our estimates on adj. net income. The valuation multiples we attach to Zabka remain broadly unch...
