According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:KGF is a Neutral.
Kingfisher’s overall score is driven by a stable financial position and shareholder-friendly initiatives like the share buyback.

Key strengths include strong cash generation and a solid balance sheet, while international market difficulties and a high P/E ratio temper enthusiasm.
