Bourrelier Group (ENXTPA:ALBOU)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Bourrelier Group SA operates do-it-yourself (DIY) stores in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands with a market capitalization of €269.36 million.

Operations: Revenue primarily comes from the distribution segment, contributing €246.94 million, followed by industry and investments at €39.47 million and €5.72 million respectively. The hotel business adds another €8.01 million to the total revenue stream.

Bourrelier Group, a nimble player in the market, recently showcased notable earnings growth of €6.85M for the half year ended June 2025, up from €1M a year ago. Despite a hefty one-off loss of €5.9M impacting its recent annual results, the company's profitability remains intact with free cash flow in positive territory. However, interest coverage is tight at 1.4x EBIT against debt repayments, indicating potential financial strain if not managed carefully. Trading at nearly half its estimated fair value suggests room for upside if operational challenges are addressed effectively and market conditions remain favorable.

The company reported a net income of US$26 million for Q3 2025, up from US$11 million the previous year. A noteworthy contract with Petrobras worth approximately US$73 million is set to commence in early 2026. Despite trading at about 41.8% below estimated fair value and having satisfactory debt levels with a net debt to equity ratio of 15.2%, interest coverage remains an area needing improvement at just 2.1x EBIT coverage.
