"They are still good relative performing. And we have also discussed this with Domino's. That's the situation in the UK. You can't fight the market, but if you're still doing okay, it means you're doing okay. The profit bridge down on cost inflation up on like forl like sales growth. So that keeps things stable for a while. If this growth disappears, that would then significantly hit profits. This is what maybe analysts are worried about. But they still anticipate good growth ahead, opening new stores, good capital allocation policy, growing, paying a dividend, net cash position, no debt, nothing wrong. And they have invested also in their distribution centers, wholesale, things like that."

The analysis of GRG highlights a company with stable fundamentals including consistent like-for-like sales growth and a strong balance sheet without debt. The commentary acknowledges that while temporary fluctuations and market pressures (such as inflation and margin compression) could lower earnings in the short term, the company's ongoing investments and strategic expansion provide a basis for potential long-term growth. However, there is caution as risks remain if growth falters, which might lead to further declines.
