Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Store Growth PotentialThere 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.
US Sales GrowthUS sales driven by store openings show a significant growth of 25%.
Valuation And Earnings GrowthValuation is attractive. We expect Primark will grow profit at a +14% CAGR FY24E-28E.
Bears Say
Macroeconomic ExposurePrimark 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 Growth ConcernsPrimark's largest market is the UK, accounting for 47% of sales, and with pricing tailwinds having now fully abated, growth is increasingly dependent on volumes, which are already tracking negative.
