"Sun shines on seasonal and big ticket spending" - new research with audio summary freely available:

Kingfisher’s strong Q126 sales growth of 1.6% (+3.1% ex calendar and FX, 2.7% LFL), beat consensus estimates by c.1.5% as B&Q led with nearly 8% LFL sales growth.

The warm and sunny weather over the late Easter holiday drove seasonal sales (e.g. outdoor and gardening) and encouraged “big-ticket” projects. Some of this spend is likely to have pulled-forward demand from 2Q26 hence there is no change to management’s FY26E guidance of £480m-£540m Adj. PBT at this stage. However, with market share gains and further strategic progress in trade and e-commerce we see significant profit growth potential for Kingfisher.

We raise our FV from 340p to 355p, equivalent to 14x cal 2026 PER and a 3.5% dividend yield.

"Market share wins and cyclical upside appeal" - new note available here:

Kingfisher is primed, ready for a recovery in “big-ticket” spending. However, management’s understandably cautious guidance range for FY26E Adj. PBT has led the stock to give up its YTD gains. We believe this enhances Kingfisher’s value attractions.

Kingfisher’s FY25 results illustrated that management’s strategy to grow trade penetration and e-commerce sales is driving market share gains in the UK & Ireland, France and Poland.

Over the next three years we forecast c.36% growth in Adj. PBT and our upside scenario suggests c.90% potential growth. Whilst investors wait for this, we forecast a 10.5% FCF yield and substantial cash returns.

Hence, trading on under 9 x cal 2026 PER, we see scope for a significant re-rating. We reiterate our 340p Fair Value, equal to c.12.5x cal 2026 PER and c.3.5% dividend yield.

"Home attraction; cyclical upside; cash rewards" - initiation of coverage, freely accessible research report here:

Kingfisher is an industry-leading home improvement retailer that is primed, ready for a recovery in “big-ticket” spending.

We review management’s strategy to grow sales and profit margins in the medium term. We believe that Kingfisher’s resilience in the UK is due to the successful execution of its expansion strategy into trade, online and smaller stores (among other things). By serving more customers, in more convenient ways, Kingfisher has grown UK market share and we anticipate the roll out of these initiatives will drive market share gains in France and Poland too.

Over the next three years we forecast c.40% growth in Adj. PBT and our upside scenario analysis suggests 90% potential growth. Whilst investors wait for this, we forecast a 10%+ FCF yield and substantial cash returns. Hence, trading on only c.10x cal 2026 PER, we see scope for a significant re-rating from this point in the economic cycle.

We initiate coverage with a 340p Fair Value based on 12.5x cal 2026 PER and c.3.5% dividend yield.

Kingfisher posted a fairly average Q3 trading update for the period to 31st October this morning and the share price has sold off sharply by over 12%. The numbers were nothing special, but the share price reaction also looks a little overdone. Q3 sales were £3.2bn with total sales flat (in constant currency) and down -0.6% (reported). LFL sales were down -1.1% which was in line or ahead of the market for all key banners. So underwhelming performance, but this was more or less expected given the ongoing struggles of the housing market. The company also reported that October performance was impacted by the weak market...from WealthOracle

Yes, point taken re CNA EssentialInvestor- bad example (but I timed my buys and sells there very well FWIW, buying at 33p in early lockdown and selling a bit too early at 140p last September).

Point also taken re KGF not being a utility RB1206- but I did say that it isn't and faces stiff competition, but I'm also aware that Screwfix, B&Q and Brico Depot and Castorama in France are often 'default' options for so many people for all the bits and pieces we need in life to keep our homes OK. They also do well in the bad times as DIY goes up - and are OK in the good times as bigger ticket items get sold (as reflected by very steady sales over the years).

So whilst I bow to your undoubted sector expertise, I still stand by my estimate of valuation of c.350p of not being overly demanding - but that's what makes a market.

For the record, I bought in at 204p in October.

KGF, with 3rd profit warning...I would expect to retest 200p minimum for now.

KINGFISHER : Deutsche Bank lowers its target price
November 23, 2023 at 06:08 am EST

Deutsche Bank cut its target price for Kingfisher shares from 255 to 225 pence on Thursday, following weaker-than-expected quarterly results and a downward revision of full-year forecasts.

The analyst - who still has a 'hold' recommendation on the stock - believes that this disappointment may well reflect a reversal in consumer spending after the rebound that followed the Covid epidemic.

He is particularly concerned about the impact of the slowdown in inflationary pressures on sales in value terms, but also about the low average ticket, the slowdown in the real estate market and the sluggish economic situation in France.

The intermediary - who also points to limited visibility on sales trends and inflationary pressures on costs - believes that Kingfisher's share price should remain locked in at a valuation of between 10 and 12 times its PER until the situation improves.

I bought back in here today at 206p - having last 'visited' during the maximum fear of March 2020 (but then sold too early!).

Anyway, I think KGF is fairly defensive and on a very undemanding rating and good yield etc., now, so was interested to read this today from Money Week fwiw:

--

Kingfisher (LSE: KGF) is an international home improvement company with about 1,980 stores, nearly 1,200 of which are in the UK and Ireland. It operates in eight countries across Europe under retail banners including B&Q, Castorama, Brico Dépôt, and Screwfix. Lockdowns hit the firm’s profits, while the stock price was also affected by a derating (a lower value placed on its earnings by the market).

And the pain hasn’t ended yet. In the six months to 31 July, like-for-like sales fell by 2.2%. Profit dropped 23% to £433m, reflecting higher operating costs in the UK, Ireland and Poland caused mainly by increased pay rates and energy costs. As a result, Kingfisher is cutting its 2023-2024 full-year adjusted pre-tax profit guidance to £590m (the previous guidance was for £634m).

However, “trading in the UK & Ireland continues to have positive momentum”, says the firm. “We remain very positive on the medium-to-long-term outlook for home improvement.” Many new homes will be needed in future. Kingfisher is “confidentR21; in its scope for growing market share. A new £300m share buyback programme reflects its bullishness.

Earnings estimates put the stock on a p/e of 9.4 for next year, dropping to 8.3 for the following 12 months. Though the price may drop further, that is a distinctly cheap valuation. Future profit growth would make the stock even better value. Meanwhile, the yield is 5.7%, with the dividend almost twice covered by prospective earnings. Buy.

pretty harsh share price IMV. it's returning about £400-500m to shareholders pretty reliably, and has a growth story in screw fix. IMV the returns on screw fix are extremely high, and once a degree of stability returns to the housing market, could yield a massive valuation were it to be spun off.

gross margin also is remarkably stable, despite all that is going on. the stock has been under valued for a number of years now.

france is obviously a market the business knows very well, the CEO and CFO are french as well. i wouldnt bet the farm on screw fix succeeding there, but in this valuation you're not paying anything for it, so it's free upside.

KGF were caught sleeping by the advance of Amazon and other online competition some years back, and suffered badly for it. They now promote their own e-commerce proposition and of course have an extensive store network to give comprehensive appeal.

Amazon et al will achieve a significant & permanent presence in the market place but will level off at some point, which may not be too far off.

The direct in-store proposition has its advantages for DIY in terms of immediacy, inspection, advice and return convenience. I think the current share price undervalues KGF combined online & instore strengths, and overestimates the further potential of pure online players to take market share.

The disappointing historic share performance has reflected the earlier online attrition but the future outlook may be somewhat more robust.
