Business
Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 3 findings−13 of −30
- −8Capital allocation (ÖoB)The ÖoB takeover lifted revenue from NOK 9.5bn to 15.1bn, but EBIT has not risen (1.40bn TTM vs 1.51bn in 2021). EPS has fallen from 6.72 to 5.24, ROIC has halved from 21.8% to 11.5%, and ÖoB still lost NOK 107m in H1 2026. Europris has become bigger, not stronger.
- −3MarginThe gross margin has fallen from 46.9% (2021) to 41.4% and the operating margin from 17.5% to 9.2%. Wage increases of about 5% and higher handling and distribution costs keep squeezing.
- −2MoatEuropris is under pressure from Normal (everyday low prices), Rusta, Jula, NorgesGruppen's Dollarstore/Gigaboks and online players such as Temu. A broad discount range has little differentiation.
Price
Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 2 findings−6 of −35
- −4Multiples vs own historyP/E 15.6 (TTM) vs 10.5–19.4 in 2021–2025 (median about 13.6) and forward P/E 13.6 vs 12.0–16.9. That is above the median even though the return on capital has halved; EV/EBITDA 7.6 vs 7.4–8.4.
- −2FCF yieldStockanalysis shows an FCF yield of 12.9%, but after lease payments of NOK 904m FCF is 822m (6.1%), and in 2025 it was only 449m (3.3%), below the 573m dividend paid.
Cracks
Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 2 findings−5 of −35
- −3Cost pressure and falling salesQ2 sales fell 2.8% to NOK 3.7bn (Easter cost about 4.5 percentage points), and management highlighted wage growth and higher distribution costs. The stock fell to a 52-week low on the report.
- −2DebtNet debt/EBITDA is 3.3x incl. leases (1.4–2.0x in 2021–2024), and debt/equity is 1.49. Leverage has risen after ÖoB, and the quick ratio is only 0.29.
Plus
Only documented strengths. · 2 findings+3 of +15
- +1Insider buyingBoard member Terje Andersen bought 6,000 shares at NOK 81.23 in July 2026, and board member Jon Martin Klafstad bought 3,025 shares at NOK 99.41 in April 2026.
- +2Progress and guidanceH1 EBIT rose 20.7% to NOK 465m, like-for-like sales in Norway rose 5.7% (volume-driven), and ÖoB guidance for H2 has been lifted to 'slightly better than flat'. The target is NOK 5bn in sales and a 5% EBIT margin in 2028.
Caveats
What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Discount variety store chain (Norway and ÖoB in Sweden). No industry on the list fits, so 'Food, drinks & restaurants' was chosen as the closest (the chains also sell groceries). stockanalysis' FCF (1.73bn) does not include lease payments of about NOK 0.9bn; FCF after leases is 0.82bn (TTM) and only 0.45bn in 2025. Net debt 5.1bn including leases and 1.6bn without. stockanalysis' share count of +14% quarter on quarter appears to be a data error (the balance sheet shows 163.65m shares unchanged). Currency exposure on purchasing and Chinese sourcing/tariffs have not been examined.
