I'm struggling to see the weakness in the share price. Valued at only around 2x there annual turnover and with very little debt. When the economy squeezes and we've very little disposable income, then it's to Greggs we'll head for a treat, not some overpriced coffee shops.This must surely be on the radar as a potential takeover target, I would think at this price

[montyhedge] 19/4/2022 13:24

You are spot on. I see a lower shareprice.

Greggs share price is underbaked


Although Greggs (GRG) has been one of the worst-performing stocks in broker Berenberg’s coverage this year, share price weakness coupled with five-year high growth opportunities present a rare opportunity, says analyst Owen Shirley.

The British baker posted its best start to the year since 2019 in February, with Berenberg now expecting 7% sales growth for the full year, driven by increased activity in city centres.

One of the UK’s most popular breakfast sellers, it has plans to expand on evening footfall by keeping doors open for an extra two hours to 8pm.

‘Following trials in 100 stores, management found that sales after 4pm grew from 11% to 17% (spread across delivery and collection) by keeping stores open until 8pm,’ said Shirley, adding that new ‘evening-appropriate’ products were likely to enhance that.

Shirley notes that raised cost inflation is factored into estimates. The opening of a new production site in the south of England will save significant distribution costs too.

‘Just over a decade ago Greggs sold no breakfasts. It now sells more breakfasts than virtually any other business in the UK,’ he said.

Berenberg reiterated a ‘buy’ recommendation with a price target of £36. The shares rose 0.9% higher to £24.84 on Friday.

Fuel for their large fleet.Heating for all those ovens.Price of wheat and ingredients going through the roof.Not to mention less disposable income for their clientele.Higher prices means less spend.The perfect storm.

They must be feeling the pain of higher costs. Margins I would have thought squeezed.

[babbler] 19/2/2022 15:29

Well considering the announcement in the papers said they are opening some greggs in some primark store I'd say yes.

[montyhedge] 18/2/2022 16:22

I just get my head around this shareprice, seems way to high.

...from last year...

Greggs today issued a Q3 trading update, it was titled “Continuing recovery and increasing potential for growth” which is not a bad summary of the state of play. Forward guidance was revised up, more aggressive store expansion is planned, delivery channels are growing. The Strategic plan includes an ambitious target to double turnover over next five years to circa £2.4bn in 2026. The share price liked the message and has spiked up nearly 10%. So do I, management have delivered solid performance over the past 5 years and look set to do the same over the next 5 years. Valuation is average on both forward PE and PS ratios, but not a constraint to further solid share price gains. And the share price has momentum and is trending. Greggs is a BUY...

I don't think this Primark thing is the greatest of moves and seems a really stupid thing to do.

Is this a hint at a tie up with Primarks owners, AB Foods

[elpirata] 09/2/2022 10:15

should have gone more upmarket with Ted Baker

[bouleversee] 09/2/2022 10:13

The market seems to have taken a bite which is all that concerns me. Tuck in!
