Andrew Wade has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Moonpig’s stronger‑than‑expected trading performance and confirmation that management still anticipates mid‑single‑digit growth in adjusted EBITDA, with earnings per share now tracking toward the top of the company’s guidance range. He also notes that the flagship Moonpig brand continues to post healthy high‑single‑digit revenue gains, even as growth moderates slightly in the second half, while the Greetz segment remains in positive territory and the Experiences division has moved ahead of prior expectations.
Wade further highlights the company’s shareholder‑friendly capital allocation, pointing to the existing buyback and the newly announced, larger £65m repurchase program planned for FY27, which follows the £60m initiative in FY26. In his view, the current valuation of roughly 11 times forward earnings does not fully capture Moonpig’s growth profile or business quality, supporting his stance that the shares remain attractive on a risk‑reward basis and warrant a Buy recommendation.
