BUAFOODS

BUA Foods is an exceptional-quality Nigerian consumer staples franchise — ROE of ~61–65% and PAT margins of ~40% in H1 2026 (PAT ₦149.8bn on revenue ₦370.5bn) confirm a genuinely high-return business — but at ₦760.6 the stock trades at ~26.4x trailing EPS (₦28.80), a meaningful premium to our blended fair-value base of ₦576.82 and even to the bull case of ₦728.43, implying roughly 24% downside to intrinsic value on our primary market-relative anchor. Quality alone does not justify an entry at this price; the appropriate posture is to hold existing positions and wait for a better entry rather than add new exposure.
