How is the global and European macro-economic environment evolving? What are latest observations on consumer confidence, consumer demand, and the value creation outlook for retail companies in Europe? Which sub-sectors are under- or outperforming, and what can we learn from those retail companies leading value creation in the industry? Authors Rajat Agarwal, Stijn Broekema, Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, Tomasz Mataczyński, Marco Blöchlinger, José Maria Álvares, Gizem Günday, Mehdi Dahioui, and Jacob Marcus share their insights in the latest edition of our Quarterly Perspective on Value Creation in European Consumer & Retail. In this issue, the authors also feature the latest insights on consumer sentiment in Europe, exploring a key question raised by many retailers in Europe: “A sunnier outlook ahead of summer?” The authors show that consumer confidence across Europe continued to strengthen in Q2 2024. Despite decreasing inflation concerns, 50% of consumers still cite inflation as their top worry, followed by international conflicts and climate change. Consumer downtrading proves a marked trend across categories. Nearly 8 in 10 European consumers are adjusting quantities and switching to lower-priced retailers. Downtrading is particularly strong among younger consumers. Please message the authors if you would like to receive this quarter’s full report and future editions or explore any insights in more detail. #Europe #Retail #CPG

In the previous edition of The Valuation Practitioner, Marc Goedhart, Werner Rehm, and Nick Wright discussed some conceptual thinking about “real options” and what makes them so hard to implement in “real life.” This week, they pick up on two examples from that discussion—a pharmaceutical start-up developing a new drug, and an automaker deciding whether to build a flexible plant, capable of switching manufacturing outputs between electric and internal combustion engine vehicles—and examine how the drivers of option value can help in developing better scenarios. #CorporateFinance #Valuation
