TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Nos Vamos Viva Mexico GIF

A Strong Start

You might not have heard of it yet, but Tiendas BBB (TBBB) is the largest discount food chain in Mexico. 

And JPMorgan analysts think the stock could see a price surge of over 40%. The convenience store first appeared on the NYSE on February 9th.

It’s up just over 2.5% since then, but JPMorgan expects growth ahead.

Primed for Expansion

JPMorgan analyst Joseph Giordano believes the stock stands to benefit from Mexico’s low market penetration rate for hard discount stores, which currently sits at 2%. 

According to Giordano’s report, this presents the chain with a great opportunity for expansion. Improving productivity in existing storefronts is another priority for the discount food chain.

Tienbas BBB also aims to maintain a return on invested capital of over 30% in its well-established stores.

Crunching the Numbers

Giordano has given the stock an “overweight” rating with a $30 price target, representing a nearly 38% upside from Wednesday’s close.

The analyst also projects a 5-year compound annual growth rate of 15% for the company driven by its expansion plans. Revenue and EBITDA are expected to grow 25% and 54%, respectively over that time frame.

As Tiendas BBB works to expand operations, its stock could present investors with an opportunity to get in on the action early.

Are you bullish or bearish on Tiendas BBB (TBBB) over the next 12 months?
