We leave FY24e broadly unchanged, and moderate our previously top-end FY25e into line with consensus. We roll forward our APV valuation to FY24e and update CoE assumptions resulting in a new TP of 1,770p, implying 37.5% upside. Our TP implies an EV/EBITDA of 10.1 vs 7.6 currently, and pre-pandemic trading range of 9.0 to 13.8. WH Smith, along with other travel retail peers, have substantially underperformed airline peers in 2023 despite exposure to similar end market dynamics. Next potential catalyst: 1Q update on 26 January 2024.
