AUTO: Future Margin Resilience Will Support Repriced P/E Multiple

Autotrader Group's updated analyst price target moves lower, with fair value now at £6.98 from £8.60. Analysts factor in a higher discount rate, slightly softer revenue growth expectations, modestly lower profit margins and a reduced future P/E of 21.63x from 25.22x, in line with recent target cuts from Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, Berenberg and Morgan Stanley.

RMV: Capital Returns And Margin Resilience Will Support Long Term Shareholder Returns

Rightmove's updated analyst price targets have edged lower, with cuts of up to £0.32 per share, as analysts factor in slightly higher discount rates, a reduction in assumed profit margins, and more conservative future P/E assumptions despite steady revenue growth expectations. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on Rightmove shows a clear split between analysts who still see upside in the business model and those who are becoming more cautious on valuation and execution risk.
