B&M European Value Retail SA ( (GB:BME) ) just unveiled an update.

B&M European Value Retail has issued an update on shareholder voting at its 2025 Annual General Meeting, highlighting that all resolutions were passed, with the vast majority receiving more than 95% support. However, the company acknowledged that some investors opposed two resolutions authorising the board to issue up to 20% of share capital on a non-pre-emptive basis for general and capital investment purposes, and it has since engaged with those shareholders to better understand their concerns. B&M said it will continue discussions and review its approach to the disapplication of pre-emption rights to ensure an appropriate balance between capital-raising flexibility and shareholder protections, with further details to be provided in its FY26 annual report, signalling a sharpened focus on governance and investor relations around capital allocation authorities.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BME) stock is a Buy with a £196.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on B&M European Value Retail SA stock, see the GB:BME Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:BME Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:BME is a Neutral.

The overall stock score of 66 reflects a mix of strong valuation and financial performance, offset by bearish technical indicators. The low P/E ratio and high dividend yield suggest the stock is undervalued, which is a significant positive factor. However, the technical analysis indicates a bearish trend, which could pose short-term risks. The financial performance is stable but requires attention to leverage and cash flow management.
