Summary
Inter Cars (CAR@GPW) is Central and Eastern Europe's largest automotive aftermarket parts distributor, operating across 21 countries with 690+ branches and 800,000+ SKUs serving ~300,000 regular customers.
Rationale
The 67% trailing 12-1 momentum is grounded in fundamental delivery — 13.6% YTD revenue growth at 3-4x the broader market rate, a Q2 earnings beat, and improving net debt/EBITDA — making the momentum signal quality-backed rather than sentiment-only.
Material risks
- 1Supplier concentration (35 suppliers ≈ 50% of purchase orders) means a deterioration in purchasing terms or availability could compress margins and erode the scale-cost advantage that underpins Inter Cars' competitive position and ROE.
- 2The PLN 685 million Stęszew logistics centre launching Q1 2027 introduces near-term execution and working-capital risk that could pressure free cash flow and sentiment precisely as the momentum signal is being traded.
