We are maintaining our fair value estimate for no-moat Hennes & Mauritz as the company reported declining sales but stronger profitability in the first quarter. After rallying 13% intraday, shares look slightly undervalued.
H&M benefits from scale advantages against smaller peers as the number-two apparel supplier in Europe and number three globally.
H&M may be too slow in trimming its store base, which could present a drag on profitability as business shifts online and store productivity falls.
