Research notes
THG (The Hut Group) has a bull case built on strong Myprotein performance, lower whey costs, and upgraded full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of £103 million; a potential £60 million HMRC VAT repayment is an additional upside catalyst. The bear case is that the recovery remains concentrated in one major brand, while execution, consumer demand, and the unresolved VAT dispute could pressure cash flow and confidence. The major recent catalyst was the late-October trading update and guidance upgrade, which helped drive a roughly 12% weekly share-price gain.
