The report noted a slight decrease in the discount rate from 10.62% to 10.41%, reflecting a modestly improved risk environment. Meanwhile, revenue growth forecasts increased from 5.78% to 5.87%, and net profit margin estimates rose from 5.24% to 5.40%.
The future price-to-earnings ratio fell from 13.56x to 13.06x, indicating expectations of stronger earnings relative to price.
Analyst sentiment remains mixed. Deutsche Bank upgraded Watches of Switzerland from Hold to Buy, setting a price target of 450 GBp and citing improved revenue momentum and operational execution. However, Kepler Cheuvreux downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold, lowering its target to 350 GBp due to valuation concerns and limited near-term upside.
As per the report, these differing views highlight a divided outlook: optimism around growth and profitability balanced by caution on whether those gains are already reflected in the current share price.
