Andrew Wade has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that balance near‑term resilience with limited valuation upside. Greggs’ early‑year price increase and well‑timed input hedging mean its margin protection and profit delivery for the first half look solid, and its pricing remains broadly aligned with the wider market in terms of inflation pass‑through.
At the same time, Greggs still sits at a price premium to supermarket competitors while undercutting some higher‑end rivals, indicating neither a clear value nor a clear growth mispricing. Potential volume and traffic pressure from unusually hot weather, together with an unchanged price target of $1610 (prior $1610), suggest that the shares are fairly valued rather than compellingly cheap or expensive, underpinning Wade’s Hold stance.
