We initiated the translations of Puuilo, a finnish discount retailer. Latest report can be found here.

Puuilo

  • Is a discount retailer that focuses on DIY and renovation supply
    image

  • The concept is simple and somewhat unique in Finland and it’s working well.

  • Is one of the most profitable discount retailers inside Europe

    • High gross margin (36%)
    • Low fixed costs (20% of sales)
  • Has strong track record of growth and the growth prospectives are yet good inside Finland

  • Has around 40 stores now and is targeting over 60 stores inside Finland

  • Very strong cashflow profile and asset light business model à 80 % payout ratio

    • Option for acquisitions
  • It’s store expansion model is efficient (black figures are achieved after first month from opening) and young stores will grow over 10 years


  • Valuation: currently elevated but over time the earnings growth and dividend yield will offset the high valuation

Puuilo will arrange an investor day on April 23rd, in which it will introduce updated strategy and ways to continue growth even after the network of over 60 stores. Link to webcast: Invitation to the Puuilo Plc’s Investor Day on April 23, 2024 - Inderes.

JA! Äntligen är översättningen av analysen här!
Vi passade på att fråga runt på kontoret vad folk har köpt senast i butiken :partying_face::

Vi svängde även ihop en video om bolaget tillsammans med @arttu.heikura :partying_face:

TOP OF Mind:

  • lönsamt: även i jmf med peers: coolt!!!
  • solid outlook
  • tillväxt: ser bra ut, men på sikt: varthän? Utanför Finlands gränser (i stil med Tokmanni- Dollarstore), eller fortsätta med M&A av mindre, lokala aktörer
  • lojala kunder = INTE att underskatta!

Här är en analys av ett företag som är älskat av finska investerare. :slight_smile:

Puuilo’s updated strategy targets stronger growth than previously expected and as a result we have revised our store opening forecasts upwards. The main drivers of the company’s profit growth are a scalable cost structure driven by an expanding store network and the growth of existing stores. The near-term valuation of the stock remains slightly elevated, but we believe this is justified by the strong earnings growth profile and high return on capital.

Här är en färsk och bra analys av Puuilo :slight_smile:

Puuilo’s Q1 report was strong as usual, driven by strong growth in customer numbers. Although the market environment remains unstable, the company has demonstrated its ability to grab market shares through a distinctive concept and cheap price image. Our growth forecasts for the next few years are driven by several annual store openings toward the target of 70 and sales growth in existing stores. The near-term valuation of the stock remains slightly elevated, but we believe this is justified by the strong earnings growth profile and high return on capital. We reiterate our Accumulate recommendation and raise our target price to EUR 11.5 (was 11), boosted by positive forecast changes.

Puuilo will report its Q2 results on Thursday September 12 at 8:30 am EEST. Although the retail trade has seen a slowdown recently, we believe the company was one of the market winners, as in previous quarters.

Analytikern Arttu Heikura har gjort en ny analys av Puuilosta. :slight_smile:

Puuilo released a Q2 report that was quite in line with expectations. Strong revenue growth was driven by both new store openings and growth in existing stores. Profitability rose to near the historic highs of the COVID era due to favorable sales mix and successful cost control. The company revised the high end of its guidance range downward as a result of what we interpreted as a challenging outlook for the rest of the year, leading us to slightly lower our near-term forecasts. The expected total return on the stock looks attractive to us, even if the near-term valuation is somewhat stretched. We reiterate our Accumulate recommendation on the basis of a favorable risk/reward ratio but lower our price target to EUR 11.0 (was EUR 11.5) following the forecast changes.
