Outlook and Targets
LPP expects to open 350-400 new stores in Q4, mostly Sinsay brand stores, and has set ambitious targets for 2027, with sales expected to reach at least PLN 28 billion, representing over 20% growth. The company aims to achieve a minimum revenue of PLN 33 billion in 2028, with a growth factor of 1.7 versus 2025. The gross margin and OpEx are expected to improve, leading to an increase in EBITDA.
Valuation and Dividend Yield
With a P/E Ratio of 21.69 and a P/S Ratio of 1.88, the market seems to have priced in a significant portion of LPP's growth potential. However, the Dividend Yield of 3.13% and a target payout of 70% of net profit provide a relatively stable return for investors. The company's ROE of 35.9% and ROIC of 15.1% indicate a strong ability to generate returns on equity and invested capital.
Competitive Strategy and Risk Management
LPP is focusing on building scale in particular markets and improving profitability, rather than entering new markets. The company is also taking steps to manage risks, including a cautious approach to profitability in Ukraine and a focus on operational effectiveness, particularly in logistics. The refinancing and savings plans are expected to provide a comfort of 3 years of current limits, with a prospect of 5 years to come.
