Margins Narrow to 1.8% Despite Strong Sales

• Profit margins dropped to 1.8% over the last twelve months, down from 2.8% a year ago, even as Cirsa’s trailing twelve-month revenue moved up to €2.3 billion.
• What is surprising is that consensus narrative points to 35% forecasted annual earnings growth and 7.4% annual revenue growth that outpaces the broader Spanish market. Yet, these robust top-line expectations have not prevented margin contraction.
  • This contrast highlights how top-line growth can mask underlying profitability pressure, which the consensus narrative sees as crucial to monitor.
  • Even with record sales, Cirsa will need to regain margin momentum to satisfy analyst expectations for sustainable profit improvement.

P/E Stands Tall at 59x Industry Average

• Cirsa trades at a Price-To-Earnings ratio of 59x, significantly higher than typical European hospitality peers.
• Consensus narrative notes this lofty P/E marks Cirsa as expensive against similar companies, but also points to a DCF fair value of €32.83, which is over twice the current share price of €14.27.
  • This gap suggests that, for consensus, long-term growth prospects may eventually justify the rich valuation if Cirsa can deliver on forecasts.
  • However, the high P/E keeps the spotlight on execution risk and continued profit delivery in a fast-changing industry.

Earnings Volatility Adds to Financial Risk

• Net income (excluding extra items) swung from a loss of €3.5 million in Q4 2024 to €18.7 million in Q1 2025, but has since trended downward to €15.6 million in Q3 2025.
• The consensus narrative cautions that this earnings volatility, paired with insufficient earnings coverage of interest payments, means financial risk remains front and center even as the company posts quality earnings overall.
  • Critics highlight that margin compression, not just raw net income, drives worries about how robust Cirsa’s profits are as external pressures persist.
  • Consensus expects investors to watch for steadier bottom-line performance before re-rating the stock with more confidence.
