- Store Roll-outs: JMT continues its expansion, rolling out stores across its brands in various countries, including Poland, Portugal, and Colombia. This strategic move has contributed to the company's impressive growth.
- Value-Led Strategy: JMT's market position is "value," and it has invested heavily in pricing. This strategy has proven to be effective, resulting in substantial market share and volume growth.

A Promising Investment Opportunity
JMT is trading at a historic 18x Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio. With EPS growing at +33% (or +25% year-on-year if you exclude some one-off gains), JMT appears to be relatively cheap. Its value-grocery positioning in cash retail makes it a defensive investment option.
However, it's worth noting that broker consensus is currently light against the impressive results unless Q4 experiences a significant downturn.
In Conclusion
JMT's Q3 2023 results showcase a company on a growth trajectory. Despite consumer-level pressures, the company's value-led strategy, consistent performance, and strategic expansion are commendable.
