GRG: Firmer Margins And Lower P E Assumptions Will Support Upside

Analysts have nudged Greggs' fair value estimate lower from £17.80 to about £17.31, reflecting a series of reduced price targets in the £1,830 to £2,090 range as they factor in a slightly higher discount rate, more cautious revenue growth and a lower assumed future P/E, partly offset by firmer profit margin expectations. Analyst Commentary Recent price target moves for Greggs cluster in a relatively tight band between £18.30 and £20.90, with several trims over time as analysts factor in updated assumptions on discount rates, growth and P/E.
