6:47 AM 2026 UK | Leisure JD Wetherspoon | BUY JDW LN | 754.00p | PT: 840.00p | % to Guidance Lowered Conclusion In the context of sustained warm weather and the recent World Cup football, another lowering of guidance highlights the pressures in the pub sector. Key features: Approaching the July year-end, JDW's outlook statement points to 'marginally lower' 4Q sales and higher costs (food, labour, repairs, energy and business rates), with profits therefore 'likely to be below market expectations'. An analyst call at 0800 should clarify the quantum of consensus cuts. As a scale operator with a 'value' consumer offer, JDW should continue to enjoy market share gains in this climate of ongoing cost pressures. Valuation remains undemanding at 6.3x EV/EBITDA (versus 9x-11x historically; 12.4% FCF yield) for FY26E.
