Pepco Group stock was trading at EUR 10.34 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 10:45 a.m. CEST, while Pepco Group had raised its FY26 underlying net earnings growth outlook to above 60 percent from above 50 percent on September 29, 2026, according to Pepco Group.

Higher profit outlook and buyback

The updated FY26 outlook points to revenue above EUR 4.5 billion, with constant-currency growth at the top of the previous 6 percent to 8 percent guidance range. Underlying net earnings growth is expected to exceed 60 percent, compared with guidance above 50 percent before the September 29 update.

Reuters reported on September 29, 2026 that Pepco also approved a new share buyback program worth up to EUR 400 million. The program is planned for fiscal years 2027 through 2029, following a EUR 400 million tender buyback completed in August 2026.

What drives the higher outlook?

Pepco said fourth-quarter constant-currency revenue had grown 15.6 percent through September 20, 2026, while like-for-like revenue excluding fast-moving consumer goods increased 9.5 percent. That comparison matters because the company reported 5.4 percent like-for-like growth excluding fast-moving consumer goods in the third quarter of FY26.

Unlevered free cash flow is expected to exceed EUR 350 million in FY26, up from prior guidance of EUR 300 million. The company also expects approximately 250 net new stores in FY26 and a total estate of approximately 4,260 stores at September 30, 2026.

Three capital-return milestones

In May 2026, Pepco completed an earlier EUR 200 million buyback program, according to Pepco Group. On August 17, 2026, it completed the EUR 400 million tender buyback, acquiring 36,462,201 ordinary shares. On September 29, 2026, the board approved the new program of up to EUR 400 million.

Dates for the next reports

Pepco Group lists FY26 preliminary results for December 9, 2026. The FY27 first-quarter trading update is scheduled for January 14, 2027, giving investors two dated checkpoints after the upgraded outlook.
