BNP Paribas Exane sees Fnac Darty stock outperforming, sets EUR36 target

On Tuesday, BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) Exane initiated coverage on Fnac Darty SA (FNAC:FP), a European retailer specializing in electronic products, cultural items, and household appliances, with an Outperform rating and a price target of EUR36.00. The research firm highlighted the company’s strong market positions and beneficial product mix, which includes books and a high gross margin Services business.

Analysts at BNP Paribas Exane expressed optimism about Fnac Darty’s prospects, citing innovation and an anticipated replacement cycle that could stimulate a gradual recovery in consumer demand. They also noted the strategic fit of Unieuro, an Italian electronics retailer, with Fnac Darty, emphasizing potential synergies between the two entities.
