Market Comment
Blue chips came
under strong selling pressure, pushing the composite index of the market
below the 1,200-point level on Tuesday. Bank shares were at the focus of
selling activity on worries that Greek banks might need additional capital
and more share capital increase plans, while uncertainty over a Parliamentary
vote on a legislation to break up PPC, foreign press reports that the country
might need a new support package and a negative climate in European markets,
also dampened sentiment in the market. The index fell 3.98 pct to end at
1,193.30 points, its lowest closing since May 23. Turnover rose to
€146.95 million while the index ended the session close to day’s
low.
Although a
technical bounce in the opening phase is very likely we expect a volatile session
as no fresh catalyst can provide an incentive for a strong turn around of the
short term trend in ASE.

the remaining 15% will be owned by ALPIQ. The joint venture will be engaged

Jumbo: In line with
market’s expectations, Jumbo announced that FY 2014 (to June 30) group
sales posted an increase of 7.9% y-o-y to EUR541.8m against EUR502.2m a year
earlier. More specifically, key Greek sales were slightly up y-o-y in FY
2014, while, in contrast, Cyprus and Bulgaria recorded double digit revenue
growths. In turn, Romania’s top-line performance came broadly in line
with Jumbo’s estimates. Recall that Jumbo opened 5 new hyperstores
during FY 2014: 2 in Greece, 1 in Cyprus and 2 in Romania.
Looking ahead, Jumbo guides for FY 2015 sales growth
of 4-5% y-o-y to EUR563-569m and net earnings of EUR90-95m. Key catalyst in
our view remains a stronger than expected L-F-L sales recovery in Greece,
which thanks to Jumbo’s high operating leverage should boost further
earnings growth outlook. For FY 2015, Jumbo plans to launch 4-5 new stores,
while focusing also in renovating Greece’s outlet network. Group
network currently counts 66 stores, out of which 52 in Greece, 4 in Cyprus, 8
in Bulgaria and 2 in Romania, along with an e-shop.
