Interparfums is down more than 6% in Paris, as Oddo BHF confirmed this morning its 'neutral' rating on the stock, with a price target reduced from €70 to €50.
Q3 sales came in at 214.6 ME, up 10% (+18% at constant exchange rates), a figure 'slightly ahead' of Oddo BHF's expectations.
All in all, Interparfums is on track (+13%e) with its full-year guidance (sales 23rd: 800 MEe), and the consensus (809 MEe) should therefore change little. For our part, we are looking at 810 MEe (vs. 815 MEe previously, which probably corresponded to a maximum)', says the analyst.
In this context, Oddo BHF indicates that it has adjusted its WACC (weighted average cost of capital) to 9.4% vs. 8.4% previously, to reflect the prudence associated with the current macro/consumer context.
