Post-weak Q2 for sales, EBIT and FCF, we have cut our FCF estimates by 9% and our PT to EUR1.9 on the back of higher operating de-leverage and a lower WCR tailwind. Beyond an emerging inflexion point in French real estate transactions (that remains to be confirmed), we are still cautious about the
Ahead of H1 2025 earnings on 6th August, we have marginally lifted our Q2 2025E sales and EBIT forecasts by c.1%. Despite a solid underlying Q2 setup, we have trimmed our FY25-27 EPS by 2% to reflect the June USD devaluation and expect EPS FY guidance to be cut in line with css and SFe forecasts fo

Ahold Delhaize is said to have approached Carrefour in late 2024 before walking away in January 2025. The failed discussions are positive for us as a deal would have totally transformed Ahold Delhaize's equity story from "defensive/yield" to a tentative and very risky "growth/recovery" with a likel

Post-weak Q1 sales marked by no sequential improvement on easy comps and market share losses, we foresee a delayed recovery in France and cut our FY 2025 sales by 1% and our EBIT & FCF by >40%. Our new EUR2.4 PT reflects a slight return to growth only from 2026 onwards. Beyond management's s

Post-Q1, we remain impressed by the MENA performance and sceptical about the recovery in Korea. Neutral reiterated with a EUR36 PT despite >30% upside as we see no short-term catalyst to engage a rerating from 8.3x EV/EBITDA. Mounting legal issues in Spain & Italy, an uncertain recovery in K

Post-FY 2024, we see 2025 as another year of declining sales and restructuring with management rightly focusing on FCF to preserve the company until the French furniture market recovers. We remain below MdM's >EUR100m cumulative FCF target as we remain more cautious regarding a market recovery i
