The bank expects soft revenue momentum in 4Q24 and forecasts a 14% decline in retail like-for-like sales.

"This is likely to drive operating deleverage and potential inventory provisions which creates downside risk to our £401m (below guide) EBIT estimate for FY24E," RBC said.

"For FY25E, we anticipate fairly stable earnings year-on-year leaving little reason to be more positive for now.

"We would like to see stabilisation of retail LFLs, which could drive a re-rating in the shares, currently trading at 16x price-to-earnings."

The bank cut its estimates for FY24 revenues by 2%, gross margins by 30 basis points to 68.4% and EBIT by 7% to £401m.

RBC rates the shares at ‘sector perform’.
