Delivery Hero has surprisingly agreed to sell Taiwan to Uber for USD1,250m / EUR1,160m (o/w EUR885m for Taiwan at 0.6x EV/GMV and EUR279m via a reserved capital increase at a 30% premium). With both parties in tough negotiations for months, we see this as a compromise to let Delivery Hero cash-in t

Except for National Vision which faced company-specific issues, Q1 proved to be a reassuring vintage for most optical players, despite several headwinds such as the "Artic Blast" in January and the earlier Easter that mainly impacted prescription sales. Relative optimism continues to prevail for 20
Yesterday, Mister Spex posted reassuring Q1 numbers considering the negative calendar effect for prescription (i.e. Earlier Easter) and demanding comparison base in Germany. Against signs of an acceleration in April, management reiterated the FY24 sales and margin outlook, as well as a sequential i
The Q1 sales decline of 1.8% FX-n was less damaging than our -4.6% FX-n figure (see our preview here) thanks to a stronger-than-expected performance in Europe. Q1 aEBITDA margin also surprised positively with a 20bp-improvement to 11.5% (CSSe: 11.2% / BGe: 11.3%). Management confirmed a return to p

In Q1, Delivery Hero demonstrated its ability to outperform peers and generate an appealing growth/profitability/FCF profile, which should continue to fuel the ongoing rerating (i.e. 0.9x EV/Sales 2025e vs. 0.7-0.8x as of Feb.) even though Meituan's in-road into Saudi Arabia has to be closely monit
Q1 proved to be strong, beating consensus figures, with re-accelerating GMV and sales growth. The upgrade to FY 2024 sales guidance (with rising debate over the prospect of an EBITDA upgrade as well this year) strengthens our view that Delivery Hero deserves to rerate further beyond 0.9x EV/Sales g
Yesterday, BIC unveiled Q1 numbers that reflected management's message highlighting a soft start to the year, but showed a modest miss vs CSS expectations (sales: -1% / aEBIT: -1.5%) given the negative phasing impact in Lighters (38% of sales and 69% of aEBIT before unallocated costs). With trends
JET reported a mixed 1Q24 trading update. There was, again, good performance in its core European stronghold, Northern Europe & UK. There was continued weak performance in North America and Southern Europe & Australia. We have small upward revisions to our estimates. We remain positive on the overall investment case as we believe the business is at the inflection point to both grow and improve profitability. In our view, the positives strongly outweigh the negatives, and we reiterate our BUY rat...
Post TKWY and ROO's Q1 figures and ahead of DHER's publication, we note an improving growth trend in Q1. This growth will nevertheless have to rebalance towards orders as out-of-home food is also set to face disinflation this year. The ability to recreate HSD% growth will be the name of the 2024-25

1Q24 GTV decreased by 2% at constant fx to € 6547m (kbcse: € 6519m, css: € 6559m), but was up 3% at constant fx when excluding for N-A, or in line with the +2% to +6% FY24 guidance. Although order volumes of 214.2m came in slightly below expectations (kbcse: 215.1m, css: 216.7m), this was offset by a strong ATV growth 4.5% to € 30.6 per order (kbcse: € 30.3, css: € 30.2m), especially in N-E, the UK & IRE. We are pleased that performance in JET's core geographies continued to improve in 1Q24, eve...
NEXT can claim the leading position in the UK fashion category. Moreover, the company managed the transition from offline to online comparatively well. However, top-line growth should remain at 4% a year until 2026 as the business outside the UK is too small. The operating margin should decrease 40bp to 17.6% on higher wages and general Opex inflation. We initiate coverage with a Neutral rating and a TP of 8,900p (based on a peer group and DCF). - ...
