4. Puig

It is a perfumery founded in 1914 in Barcelona that covers cosmetics, fashion and skin care. In 2023, it achieved a turnover of 4.304 million euros.

It debuted on the Spanish stock exchange last week at a price of 24.5 euros, giving it a market capitalization of 13.92 billion euros, making it Europe’s largest IPO in 2024.

Its debut could serve as a “barometer” for other companies ready to go public, such as Europastry, Tendam and Hotelbeds.

In its early days, only institutional investors could buy shares, but now retail investors can as well.

The company aims to distribute 40% of its net profit as dividends to its shareholders.

Certainly, the exit price is at the high end of the range, reflecting the company’s positive outlook for its future. However, the exit price represents a 15% discount compared to the industry average in terms of enterprise value.

The market estimates that a “reasonable discount” could be 20% compared to France’s L’Oréal or a 3% premium to the sector, which would mean it would be attractive as long as it remains below 31 euros.

In his favour :

• For this year, the company plans to continue its expansion, particularly in the Asian market.
• In 2023, it achieved a turnover of 4,304 million euros, achieved an ebitda of 849 million euros (+33%) and recorded a net profit of 465 million euros (+16%).
• The Puig family’s maintenance of a majority stake and voting rights guarantees continuity of management, generating long-term investor confidence.
• Its solid position in the market.
• Its strategic acquisitions.
• Its pricing strategy.

It is still too early to analyze its market prospects, but we will follow it closely.
