Halfords: Price target upgrades
11th July 2013, 13:23

Analysts at HSBC and N+1 Singer have increased their price targets on Halfords [LON:HFD] in response to the company's first quarter interim management statement, published on Wednesday.

HSBC reaffirmed its ‘neutral’ recommendation and increased its price target to 380 pence per share (from 340 pence), while N+1 Singer stuck with its bullish ‘buy’ call and raised its price target to 425 pence a share (previously 380 pence).

N+1 Singer said: “’Getting into Gear 2016’ was one of the more impressive strategic updates we have seen for some time and tackles the key issues head on. There can be no doubting Matt Davies’s passion and ambition to succeed.

“Expectations and forecasts were rebased after the prelims but upgrade momentum is now returning after a strong Q1.

“The route map for the turnaround is transparent and our analysis of potential share gains in core categories suggest that management’s £1bn sales target in FY’16 is very achievable.”

Separately, Cantor Fitzgerald upgraded its recommendation to ‘hold’ from ‘sell’, in a note to investors yesterday, believing the results highlighted impressive underlying performance.

Broker Forecasts consensus data shows that 36 per cent of brokers rate the shares as a ‘buy’, 50 per cent as a ‘hold’ and 14 per cent as a ‘sell’.

At 1:14pm: Halfords Group share price was up 5.25 pence at 359.75 pence.
