Greggs upgraded to buy with higher profit forecasts after strong Q3 sales growth.

Greggs PLC received a 'buy' upgrade from Panmure Liberum and a raised price target from Deutsche Bank following stronger-than-expected third-quarter sales. Total sales rose 7.7% with like-for-like sales up 3.4%, prompting Panmure to increase its full-year profit forecast by 2% to about £178 million. Greggs also plans to open 100-110 net new stores this year and is considering consolidating manufacturing sites to cut costs. Deutsche Bank raised its target price despite maintaining a 'sell' rating, noting accelerating sales growth and manageable cost inflation guidance for 2026.
