Burberry: UBS lowers target price
(CercleFinance.com) - UBS reiterates its sell recommendation on the stock and lowers its target price to 490 pence (from 720 pence), the day after the British luxury goods company announced a change of CEO and a profit warning.
Its TP suggest 34% downside potential for the stock.
Burberry has just published its first-quarter sales ahead of schedule, which were due to be released on Friday this week. Q1 retail sales of £458m were 6% below the forecast of £486m and the UBS forecast of £489m, down 21% LFL (against a consensus of -16% and UBS' forecast of -14%), the broker says.
Q1 results include a major profit warning and the departure of the CEO. In the context of the ongoing restructuring and the absence of a clear strategy, we believe the share should be sold with a revised target of 490 pence' UBS adds.
