James Wheatcroft has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Inchcape’s potential for growth and value. The company has reiterated its guidance for FY24, indicating a year of growth that aligns with its medium-term EPS growth target of 10%. Despite some anticipated foreign exchange headwinds, the company’s regional performance trends remain consistent, with notable improvements in the Americas and resilience in Australia.
Additionally, Inchcape’s valuation appears attractive when compared to historical multiples, with a projected PE of 9.7x and a dividend yield of 4.1% for FY26. The company’s commitment to generating approximately £2.5 billion in free cash flow by the end of FY30 further underscores its financial robustness. These factors collectively support the Buy rating as they suggest a strong potential for shareholder returns and financial stability.
In another report released on July 23, Citi also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a £11.61 price target.
