Jerónimo Martins, SGPS, S.A. (JRONY) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
Jeronimo Martins is undervalued after a 13% YTD drop despite robust revenue and EBITDA growth. Recent margin compression, mainly from Poland and Portugal, appears cyclical rather than being a permanent negative shift. Ara, the company's Colombian unit, is growing rapidly and could potentially command a much higher valuation if spun off.
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
