Stockmann (Initiation of Coverage): Department stores still a source of grief
We expect Lindex's result to fall from the exceptionally high level in recent years and department stores to remain clearly cash flow negative in coming years, resulting in a cash-adjusted P/E of about 12x in 2023-24. We believe this is a neutral level and do not expect significant earnings growth even in the medium term. Lindex's large logistics investment in 2022-23 will reduce the company's net cash and we do not expect dividends for the next few years.
