Premier Investments' Sleepwear Business Looks Undervalued to Bull -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-23

2238 GMT - Premier Investments's 1H result supports conviction at Macquarie that its Peter Alexander sleepwear chain is undervalued. Macquarie says Peter Alexander is trading at 3.3 times estimated Ebit, which represents a 71% discount to its apparel peers' average. That's despite industry-leading margins. Macquarie highlights 4.9% sales growth in Australia and New Zealand in 1H, and strong trading at the start of 2H. It also observes that U.K. sales are growing, while Premier Investments' pivot to outlets should reduce its U.K. cost base. Macquarie lifts its target price by 4.3% to A$16.90/share and keeps an outperform rating on the stock, which is at A$11.98 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
