Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Earnings GrowthValuation is attractive. We expect Primark will grow profit at a +14% CAGR FY24E-28E.
Growth OpportunitiesThere is plenty of runway for store growth and margin expansion. Primark can almost double its store estate with plenty of room in France, Italy, the US and Spain.
Market PositionPrimark is an underappreciated and unique fashion business. It is the clear price leader delivering fashion at affordable prices.
Bears Say
Consumer SpendingPrimark is most exposed to lower-income consumers, who are at risk from the slowdown in disposable spending power, particularly as the UK is its largest market.
Margin PressureThere is an increased risk of margin pressure from cost headwinds and heightened investments, making Primark most at risk from macroeconomic challenges.
Sales DeclineThere is a risk that Primark's like-for-like sales could further decline as current forecasts are below consensus and management guidance.
