Ahold Delhaize: UBS reiterates its sell recommendation
(CercleFinance.com) - In today's note, the analyst says that the stability of Q2 is unlikely to enable the company to achieve its targets for the FY 2025e.
He therefore confirms his sell recommendation on the stock, with an unchanged price target of E27 - a new target that implies a 6% downside potential for the Belgian-Dutch food retailer's stock.
"A steady Q2 is unlikely to answer FY25e margin outlook question in our view when we see downside risk from AD's price investments; reiterate Sell".
Ahold Delhaize's strategy of accelerating growth and cutting prices in the US should lead to a period of group EBIT margin below 4%, the broker warns, which sees downside risks for FY 2025.
