Temple & Webster's Business Doesn't Justify Valuation, Bear Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 18, 2025

0317 GMT - Temple & Webster is a good business but one that doesn't justify its current valuation, UBS analysts say. Cutting their recommendation to sell from neutral, they say that the Australian furniture retailer's stronger-than-expected December-half Ebitda was driven by currency gains and underspending on brand marketing. They see a risk that moves to reaccelerate revenue growth in the June half costs more in marketing than investors currently anticipate. They think that medium-term average analyst forecasts suggest a widespread underestimation of marketing costs. UBS raises its target price 31% to A$15.50. Shares, which gained 26% across two days following the release of the December-half result, are up 0.4% at A$18.46. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
