SVN Capital Fund Shreekkanth "Shree" Viswanathan | “Next is Dino Polska (DNP), the Polish grocery chain, which is another long-term holding in the fund. After underperforming in 2024 (-15.0%), the stock price has reversed course and is up +35.0% year-to-date. After realizing the folly of applying the brakes to new store formation, the management team has taken its foot off the brake and is pressing on the gas pedal; store growth in the last two quarters indicates that it's on pace to open a store a day. There are a couple of reasons why the operating performance of Q1 2025 looks a little light. • There were fewer open days in Q1 2025: grocery stores in Catholic Poland were allowed to remain open only on one Sunday in Q1 2025. • Delayed Easter: the week-long grocery spending for Easter (April 20, 2025) celebrations got pushed to Q2. I expect the operating performance for the rest of the year to reflect the renewed vigor. BSD Analysis: Dino Polska is a high-velocity, discount retail oligopolist whose stock is a conviction bet on its relentless organic store expansion in Poland's underserved smaller cities. The core thesis is driven by its unique, scalable strategy: modern, medium-sized supermarkets situated close to residential areas, which aligns perfectly with consumer trends for convenience and fresh, healthy food. The company's store count surged from 511 in 2015 to 2,688 at the end of 2024, and it continues to grow aggressively. Despite missing recent profit targets due to fierce competition, the underlying like-for-like (LFL) sales growth remains robust at 4.4%. Dino is a leveraged bet on the structural growth of the Polish consumer market, underpinned by its efficient logistics and superior scale.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 8, 2025 | View Pitch |
