GRG: Refined Expectations And Cost Efficiency Constraints Will Shape Balanced Forward Returns

Analysts have lifted their fair value estimate for Greggs to about £17.77 per share from roughly £17.01, citing updated price targets that balance higher Street forecasts, including a new £2,210 target alongside a £1,960 target, with views that future cost savings may be less accessible after the recent share price move. Analyst Commentary Recent research on Greggs shows a split in opinion on how much upside is left in the share price following the recent rally.
