Guzman Y Gomez's Growth Is Missing Expectations -- Market Talk
Dow Jones
Feb 20
0000 GMT - Guzman Y Gomez's bear at Citi sees nothing in the fast-food franchiser's first-half result to drive the stock higher. Analyst Sam Teeger tells clients in a note that the Australian company is executing well, but more slowly than the market had expected. He observes that the December-half Australia sales growth of 4.4% showed acceleration from the fiscal first quarter, but nonetheless fell short of consensus for 5.2%. This might be because McDonald's is doing well in the country, he suggests. Citi has a last-published sell rating and A$21.35 target price on the stock, which is down 10% at A$18.27.
