Moonpig price too good to overlook, says Liontrust

Moonpig (MOON) shares have fallen to levels that are ‘difficult to ignore’, says Liontrust manager Anthony Cross. The online card and gift retailer is the ninth largest holding in Cross’s Liontrust GF UK Growth fund, where it makes up 2.9% of the £852m portfolio.The shares have been strong this year, up 15% although they were trading down 0.41%, or 1p, at 243p on Thursday. The stock has been buoyed by a new share buyback scheme, which the company "heralded at the time of its recently April trading update, citing its exceptional cash generation. Share buybacks are increasingly being used by companies across the portfolio as an efficient capital allocation tool, with many boards recognising that the pressure on UK equity valuations in recent years has left their own shares trading at levels which are difficult to ignore," said Cross.

Panmure Liberum backs Moonpig despite sales miss
Moonpig Group may have delivered a sales miss but its growth is well underpinned, according to Panmure Liberum.

Analyst Anubhav Malhotra retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 225p on the online greetings card and gift platform, which was trading down 3.3% at 217p on Friday afternoon. In an annual trading update, Moonpig reported softer-than-expected sales, which missed consensus by 1%, with underlying growth in the second half slowing to 4% from 6% in the first half. "Growth has been underpinned by strong performance at Moonpig and good progress on gift attachment rates, but Greetz and Experiences sales likely remain in decline," said Malhotra. The results were in line with Malhotra’s estimates and he believes consensus estimates for sales growth in the next two years are overoptimistic and "we remain below consensus here. A new £60m buyback is attractive and annual cash returns of around 9-10% of the market cap underpins our “buy”," he said.

Moonpig — FY25 update shows continued cash generation
Edison: 3 April 2025

Moonpig’s trading statement for FY25 (to end April) shows that the year looks set to finish in line or slightly better than expected. This is despite a challenging consumer confidence and geopolitical environment. While disruptive, the group’s business model continues to prove robust and therefore significant growth opportunities remain. Its modest capital base generates high returns, which suggests attractive underlying value in the shares.

Trading update
In its FY25 trading update, Moonpig states that it expects revenue of £350–353m (consensus £356m) with adjusted EBITDA margins at the top of 25–27% guidance. The company also announced a new £60m share buyback programme. Management reiterated its aim of delivering growth in adjusted EPS in the mid-teens over the medium term.

Growth drivers
The group has a very clear strategy to achieve compounding cash flows: firstly, grow its 11.5 million active customers to take a greater share of the 51 million card buyers in its markets; secondly, increase its customers’ FY24 purchase frequency from 3.6 cards/year towards the average 19.4 cards/year bought in its offline markets; and thirdly, increase the 17.3% gift attachment rate, reflecting the 58% of occasions when a (non-cash) gift is given alongside a card (source: Moonpig, OC&C market research, October 2024). The growth drivers for its experiences products are similarly straightforward: increase order conversion through the offering; boost average order value through promotions; increase use of third-party channels; and upsell during voucher redemption. In addition, the group is exploring the US, Australian and Irish online card markets.

Valuation
The rapid deleveraging between October 2022 and October 2024 (when net debt fell from £209m to £120m), the initiation of a dividend at the last interim results and the £85m in share buybacks demonstrate the underlying cash generation of Moonpig’s business model. Furthermore, the asset base used to generate these returns is very modest, leading to an annualised future return on capital (ex-goodwill, based on consensus) of c 180–200% versus a real cost of capital of around 5% (source: Quest). Conventional multiple analysis values Moonpig at a slight premium to other speciality retailers but, based on the group’s returns profile, the underlying value is attractive.

You think Moon is overvalued, so you’re a bit blind.

“Not disruptive” - I wonder how they got to where they are.

Strong profit performance. New £60m share buyback announced

Moonpig provides an update on its trading performance for the financial year ending 30 April 2025.

We anticipate full year revenue will be between £350m and £353m, alongside a stronger than expected Adjusted EBITDA margin, which will be at the top end of our 25% to 27% guidance range, and double-digit percentage growth in Adjusted EPS. Revenue growth continues to be underpinned by strong sales at Moonpig, driven across our three core growth levers: customer base, order frequency and average order value. Greetz had a softer start to the second half of the year, but recent performance has been improving. At Experiences, we remain focused on delivering our transformation plan.

Gift attachment rates at Moonpig and Greetz have seen strong growth in the second half, supported by enhanced recommendation algorithms and the introduction of trusted third-party brands to our curated gifting range. Membership of our Plus subscription scheme continues to grow, and our tracked Moonpig Guaranteed Delivery service is now chosen for one in five card-only orders in the UK. Gross margin rate performance has remained strong, consistent with the first half of the year.

The Group is highly cash generative and we continue to expect net leverage of approximately 1.0x Adjusted EBITDA as at 30 April 2025. Our inaugural six-month £25m share repurchase programme is expected to complete by financial year-end. Given our continued strong free cash flow generation, the Board announces its intention to start a new £60m share buyback which would commence in FY26.

Nickyl Raithatha, CEO, commented:"We are pleased that Moonpig Group continues to deliver strong profitability and high free cash flow generation, driven by the power of the Moonpig brand. Our strong performance reflects our unique customer proposition and sustained investments in technology and data. By using technology, data and AI, we help our customers express themselves and connect with their loved ones, deepening engagement and strengthening loyalty. One in three Valentine's Day cards created on Moonpig and Greetz featured at least one of our innovative personalisation tools, such as AI handwriting, or audio and video messages. We've been delighted with the positive reaction to our latest feature, AI generated stickers for the inside of cards, where customers have already created over 1 million personalised images in just the few weeks since the launch. As we look ahead, we remain well positioned to benefit from the long-term structural shift to online and to deliver mid-teens percentage growth in Adjusted earnings per share over the medium-term."

Moonpig remains a compelling opportunity, says investment bank

Deutsche Bank sees Moonpig Group PLC (LSE:MOON) as a "compelling opportunity", maintaining its 'buy' rating and a 290p price target. It believes the online card card and gift retailer is well-positioned for double-digit revenue growth, helped by rising stamp prices and increasing international momentum, which reduce pressure on its UK business. However, challenges remain in key areas. Deutsche has lowered its forecasts for Moonpig’s Dutch subsidiary, Greetz, where web traffic has slowed, and for its Experiences division, which it says needs a more substantial revamp.While spending on travel and leisure is rising, Moonpig has yet to fully capitalise on the opportunity.

Despite these hurdles, Deutsche Bank remains positive about Moonpig’s prospects, particularly as its core UK market continues to perform well. With a supportive market environment and strong brand positioning, the bank sees potential for further gains, provided the company can address weaknesses in its international operations.

Moonpig lands in Premier Miton fund

Premier Miton duo Jon Hudson and Benji Dawes picked up a stake in Moonpig (MOON) last year, encouraged by a pickup in consumer spending. They added the online card and gift retailer to their £172m Premier Miton UK Growth fund as they spied improving prospects for the group. "The firm has struggled in recent years as consumers tightened their belts and cut discretionary spending on gifts. With disposable incomes rising again, a strong technology platform, and dominant market share in online cards, Moonpig seems well positioned to succeed."

Shares in Moonpig are up more than 30% over the past 12 months, but are still trading at well under half their peak of nearly £4.90 soon after floating in 2021. More broadly, managers said the UK economy ‘continues to show improvements’ and, while the new Labour government is increasing taxes, its "front-footed’ approach to financial markets regulation, as well as housing and, in particular, planning legislation, augur well for the nation’s economic prospects and encourage investment".

"Moonpig’s half-year revenue increased 3.8% to £158m, while adjusted cash profit grew 1% to £41.8m thanks to growth in new customers and orders from existing ones, prompting the company to upgrade its targets. As an online business with low capital requirements, Moonpig generated £10m of free cash flow, which allowed the company to cut debt and post its first dividend. Moonpig’s forward PE ratio of 19 is reasonable. 222p" Investors Chronicle

Broker tips: Moonpig
Mon 16 Dec 2024

Last week's dramatic share-price plunge at cards and gifts retailer Moonpig represents a good buying opportunity for investors, according to Canaccord Genuity, which reiterated its positive stance on the stock. Moonpig said last Tuesday that it swung to a pre-tax loss of £33.3m in the first half, from a profit of £18.9m the year before, and pointed to "challenging" trading in its Experiences segment. However, Canaccord said results were still "strong" and kept a 'buy' rating on the shares on Monday, raising its target price from 254.0p to 267.0p.

"Moonpig delivered a strong set of interim results, upgrading medium-term EBITDA margins by 100bps, yet this got overshadowed by tough trading on the gifting side and by a non-cash impairment of the Experiences business, while a high share price into the results resulted in a sell-off in the stock. We believe the sell-off in the shares provides a buying opportunity with the investments made into the platform beginning to pay off with Moonpig returning to active customer growth and seeing rising order frequency, while new revenue initiatives are helping support the margin." said analysts.
