Catalysts
About Allegro.eu- Operates a go-to commerce platform for consumers in Poland and internationally.
- Allegro’s increasing focus on high-margin advertising revenue, growing at 31.3% year-on-year, is expected to significantly boost EBITDA margins moving forward as this stream directly flows into profitability.
- The expansion of Allegro Pay, with a loan origination growth of 41% over the past two years, is set to enhance GMV, driving future earnings through increased purchasing power and consumer engagement on the platform.
- Investments in logistic capabilities, such as the cost-effective Allegro Delivery network, are anticipated to reduce delivery expenses and improve net margins in the medium to long term.
- Successful integration of new international marketplaces with identical tech stacks implies potential operational efficiencies and revenue gains, underpinning earnings growth in new markets.

Allegro.eu Future Earnings and Revenue Growth
Assumptions
How have these above catalysts been quantified?
- Analysts are assuming Allegro.eu's revenue will grow by 12.3% annually over the next 3 years.
- Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 15.4% today to 16.9% in 3 years time.
- Analysts expect earnings to reach PLN 2.8 billion (and earnings per share of PLN 2.79) by about June 2029, up from PLN 1.8 billion today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting PLN3.2 billion in earnings, and the most bearish expecting PLN2.5 billion.
- In order for the above numbers to justify the price target of the analysts, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 18.4x on those 2029 earnings, down from 19.6x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the PL Multiline Retail industry at 19.6x.
- Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 0.46% per year for the next 3 years.
- To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 10.58%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.
Risks
What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?- The impending CEO transition in June 2024 may cause potential leadership instability, which could affect strategic decisions impacting revenue growth and market confidence.
- The competitive threat from entrants like TEMU could lead to increased marketing expenses and price pressure, impacting Allegro’s net margins.
- The company's decision to pause international expansion suggests challenges in those markets, which could slow anticipated revenue scaling and GMV growth.
- Allegro’s increased CapEx on logistics to reduce delivery costs has the potential risk of not achieving anticipated savings, impacting EBITDA margins.
- Potential cost pressures, including rising real wages and software costs, may not be fully offset by increases in take rates, thus affecting future earnings and profitability.
Valuation
How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?
- The analysts have a consensus price target of PLN38.65 for Allegro.eu based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
- However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of PLN45.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just PLN33.0.
- In order for you to agree with the analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be PLN16.8 billion, earnings will come to PLN2.8 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 18.4x, assuming you use a discount rate of 10.6%.
- Given the current share price of PLN35.34, the analyst price target of PLN38.65 is 8.6% higher. The relatively low difference between the current share price and the analyst consensus price target indicates that they believe on average, the company is fairly priced.
- We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
