Pandora Faces Mounting Margin Pressure -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Jan 12

1116 GMT - Pandora's underperformance in the fourth quarter, with muted festive trading, is a further sign of the brand's cyclicality and mounting margin pressure, UBS analyst Chris Huang writes. Fourth-quarter organic sales growth landed at 4%, versus consensus looking for 7%, while like-for-like was flat versus consensus at 3%. Combined with further downside risks to 2026 estimates, this sent the shares down by 13% on the day. "The sequential underperformance of the U.S. and Fuel with More segment ... raises potential concerns over the brand's near-term recovery prospects." UBS models 2026 like-for-like sales growth of 1% and a 21% EBIT margin, versus consensus at 3% and 23%, respectively. UBS lowers its price target on the stock to 555 Danish kroner from 655 kroner and keeps at sell. Shares fall 2.8% to 572 kroner. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
