Pluxee (PLXFP; NR, BBB+; S) Equities have gone bid ahead of earnings

CONSUMER CYCLICALS
  • Equities (€4b market cap) have gone bid this afternoon (+5% vs. SXXP -0.5%) ahead of the Q3 (to May) trading update tomorrow morning.
  • Of most interest to us tomorrow is the price tag and/or remaining headroom for M&A after the announced acquisition of Spanish start-up Cobee (see June 13th).
  • We have held the 28s cheap view through the release given we see no major risks (headroom on leverage/ratings) but this is Edenred's junior in scale & diversification so headline performance and continued growth in the market is still important for us.
  • FY guidance is currently for organic revenue growth between +15-17% and recurring EBITDA margin>35%. Consensus is there as well.
