Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Organic Growth ExpectationsGWW stands out as having a more achievable bar on 2025 consensus organic growth.
Price AdjustmentsThe company added 100 bps of price in 2H, contributing to a 50 bps wrap into FY'25, with an assumption of an incremental 150 bps of new price to start FY'25.
Bears Say
FY25 Guidance And MarginsThere are concerns about the FY25 guidance framework, which embeds no impact for tariffs, likely pinching margins to the low-end of the guide.
Tariffs And Import ExposurePrivate label products, accounting for about 20% of sales, tend to have overweight import exposure and are likely less competitive in a tariff regime.
Valuation RisksValuation has fallen to a more comfortable position vs. peers, but remains extended at approximately 24x NTM P/E vs. a 20x 5Y median, indicating potential downside risk.
