Analyst

Arttu Heikura

Puuilo operates in the retail sector. The company operates and manages several stores and trading locations. The range is broad and includes household and pet products that are resold under its own or other brands. Customers mainly consist of private players around the global market. The largest presence is found in Finland.

OP also moved to an Accumulate recommendation (Reduce) and maintained the target price at 14.50 euros.  Despite a slight Q3 earnings disappointment, the company is still progressing in the right direction in Finland and is successfully implementing its strategy.  The moderation of valuation multiples relative to our almost unchanged earnings estimates has improved the risk/reward ratio, and in our opinion, the valuation now offers a better entry point into a high-quality growth story than before.

Puuilo opens its third store in Jyväskylä: Puuilo Opens a New Store in Vaajakoski, Jyväskylä PUUILO PLC, PRESS RELEASE, December 11, 2025, at 8:00 AM Puuilo will open a new store in Vaajakoski, Jyväskylä, in spring 2026. The store will be located on Haapaniementie, in the premises of the current Marine machinery store. Marine will move to adjacent premises on the same plot. The retail space will undergo renovations, during which a garden store will also be built. The store will employ approximately 15 people upon opening, and recruitment will begin early next year.

Arttu says hello to the table, because here’s a new company report from Puuilo after Q3.  Puuilo reported a well-anticipated result with revenue and profit growing at a good 10% rate. We still see the company’s long-term growth and value creation potential as strong, in addition to which the stock’s valuation has also moderated. We raise our recommendation to add (previously reduce) and reiterate our target price of 14.5 euros. Quoted from the report: Cash flow at a healthy level, and balance sheet in strong condition For Q1-Q3, the company has accumulated 65 MEUR in cash flow, which is an increase compared to the reference period (44 MEUR) due to higher profit. Precise figures for calculating free cash flow are not provided in the Q3 report, but the investment pace for the current year has been moderate. With the expanded store network, rental payments have naturally increased, but free cash flow is likely still at a healthy level. Puuilo’s good balance sheet position is reflected by a net debt/EBITDA ratio (IFRS 16 adj.) of 0.5x, while the company’s self-imposed upper limit is 2.5x. This also secures financing for a faster growth pace (e.g., internationalization or acquisitions) if needed. So far, however, the company has been able to expand through self-financing, which reflects the business model’s strong cash flow profile and low investment needs.                   Inderes              Puuilo Q3'25: Paluu kasvutarinan kyytiin - Inderes    Näemme yhtiön pitkän ajan kasvu- ja arvonluontiedellytykset edelleen vahvoina, joiden lisäksi myös osakkeen arvostus on maltillistunut.

Arttu interviewed Puuilo’s CEO Juha Saarela regarding Q3.                    Inderes              Puuilo Q3'25: Odotusten mukaista kehitystä - Inderes    Aika: 10.12.2025 klo 15.22 Puuilon Q3:n numerot osuivat odotuksiimme etenkin tuloksen osalta. Myynnin ripeän kasvun taustalla vaikutti ennätysnopea myymäläverkoston laajentumistahti. Puuilon toimitusjohtaja Juha Saarela haastattelussa.                             Topics: 00:00 Introduction  00:10 Q3 development  00:46 Average purchase decreases  03:20 Online sales  05:24 Profitability weakened  06:19 New stores at a record pace  08:30 Changes in the competitive environment  10:45 Guidance refined

In my opinion, the guidance looks cautious (the midpoint means approximately 0-growth in adj. EBITA for Q4). There might, of course, be a reason for it, if consumer demand is indeed weak. We’ll see then. If the gross margin had been under pressure, I would be more concerned.

The market seemed to have predicted a positive surprise for Puuilo, which resulted in a negative share price reaction. I personally don’t see any business weakness in the big picture. Feel free to challenge. I wouldn’t be worried about the decline in online sales. In @Arttu_Heikura’s interview, this was justified, for example, by the fact that stores have opened in smaller localities, which has enabled direct store visits. And as stated, there is often an immediate need for the product.

Impressive figures from Puuilo, however, the market situation is genuinely challenging. When the company achieves such results during a downturn, what can be expected when the economy has tailwinds? I personally visit Puuilo weekly; there are always plenty of customers, and finding a parking spot is often difficult. The price perception is affordable, but there are indeed products that are very expensive; the exorbitant profit margin must come from somewhere. This is a top company on par with Harvia; a small dip in the share price doesn’t matter.

Puuilo announced that it will open a new store under its current concept in Äänekoski in Central Finland in late 2024. The store in Ääenkoski will be the last of the 6 store openings planned by Puuilo for this year.

Puuilo announced that it will open a new store under its current concept in &Auml;&auml;nekoski in Central Finland in late 2024. The store in &Auml;&auml;enkoski will be the last of the 6 store openings planned by Puuilo for this year. We are neutral about the news, but it strengthens our view of achieving the network of 48 Puuilo stores during the current financial year.
The store will be opened next to Halpahalli along Jyv&auml;skyl&auml;ntie. Being close to competitors enables Puuilo to have a higher customer flow and the ability to undermine their market share (which the company provided evidence of <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/inderes-widgets-prod-assets/puuilo/calendarEventAttachments/Investor%20Day%20presentation%2023.4.2024-v2.pdf">in its Investor Day</a>). The new store's floor area is about 3,000 square meters and it will employ 13-15 new employees when it opens, which is slightly below our estimated average store personnel (~18). This may be due to the optimization of store personnel costs announced by Puuilo, e.g., through more efficient refill orders and shift planning.
