GRG: Store Expansion And Brand Loyalty Will Drive Long-Term Upside

Our updated narrative for Greggs reduces the fair value estimate from 30.6 to 26.7 per share. This reflects analysts lowering their price targets by roughly GBp 420 and GBp 160 respectively, as they incorporate slightly slower multiple expansion despite broadly unchanged growth and margin expectations.
