Deutsche Bank has upgraded Kingfisher PLC from 'sell' to 'hold' and increased its price target to 300p from 260p. The upgrade follows better-than-expected earnings and a sequential improvement in industry data, despite ongoing UK cost pressures and a soft European consumer outlook. Deutsche Bank raised its full-year pre-tax profit forecast to £605 million, above market consensus and Kingfisher's own guidance midpoint. The bank's more neutral stance reflects confidence in Kingfisher's performance amid macroeconomic challenges.
