Greggs<\/strong> (LSE: GRG<\/a>) shares have been a big winner in recent years, as the board pursued an ambitious and successful expansion strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bakery chain has become a fixture on our high streets, in shopping centres, railway stations and even airports. As Britons seek affordable treats in tough times, Greggs has filled its boots.<\/p>\n

Then last autumn, growth slowed as the wider economy ground to a halt. Although sales are still rising, the pace has slowed. The company set itself a high benchmark and has struggled to meet it.<\/p>\n

Can this FTSE 250 stock bite back?<\/h2>\n

In full-year results released on 9 January, Greggs announced that total sales had passed \u00a32bn for the first time in 2024, rising 11.3% year on year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That should have been cause for celebration but like-for-like (LFL) sales growth in company-managed shops had slowed to 5.5%.<\/p>\n

Q4 was weaker, with total sales up 7.7%, but LFL sales growth slipping to just 2.5%, amid \u201cmore subdued high street footfall\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chief executive Roisin Currie remained optimistic, citing a strong pipeline of new locations and an expanding menu, but these are tough times if consumers can\u2019t afford a Greggs steak bake or sausage roll.<\/p>\n

Even the weather has been against it as hopes for a 2025 turnaround were cooled by a disappointing trading update on 9 March.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LFL sales in company-run shops rose just 1.7% in the first nine weeks of the year, with \u201cchallenging\u201d<\/em> January weather the culprit this time. There was a sign of improvement in February, and with spring on its way, investors will hope that continues.<\/p>\n

While Greggs won\u2019t be hit by Donald Trump\u2019s trade tariffs, it could take a knock from the resultant gloom. Plus inflation is expected to climb this summer rather than fall. Greggs will also take a double cost hit from rising employer\u2019s National Insurance and the 6.7% minimum wage hike, which both land in April.<\/p>\n

The board is battling on, expanding its store footprint and extending trading hours, while investing in home delivery services too.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been following the shares for a while, but thought expectations were too high and the shares were too pricey. That\u2019s not the case today.<\/p>\n

Valuation down, dividend up<\/h2>\n

The Greggs share price has fallen 35% over the past year. As a result, its price-to-earnings (P\/E) ratio has dropped from over 22 times to a far tastier 12 times.<\/p>\n

Another positive is the higher dividend yield<\/a>, which has crept up to 3.35%. I think Greggs is worth considering today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 12 analysts offering one-year share price targets for the stock have a median estimate of 2,344p, suggesting a potential 26% rise from today\u2019s levels. Combined with the improved yield, this could deliver a total return of nearly 30%. But I\u2019ll add a note of caution.<\/p>\n

The sell-off may not be over yet. Someone who invested \u00a310,000 a month ago would have seen their stake shrink by 13.5%, leaving them with just \u00a38,650 today. That\u2019s a \u00a31,350 paper loss.<\/p>\n

Greggs has got my juices flowing but there\u2019s a risk that the days of unstoppable growth might be over for now.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
