UBS has downgraded Inchcape PLC from 'buy' to 'neutral' and lowered its price target from 990p to 750p due to weaker vehicle volumes and a challenging outlook in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The broker expects adjusted earnings per share to decline between 2% and 7% from 2026 to 2028, driven by falling distributed volumes, especially a 26% drop forecasted in APAC for Q3 2026. The shift towards electric vehicles in key markets like Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore also poses challenges, as Inchcape is underexposed to these products. UBS anticipates a 4% organic revenue decline in Q3 2026 but expects improvement in Q4 with better vehicle availability and new contracts. The upcoming third-quarter trading update on October 22 will be a critical indicator of recovery in APAC volumes and margins.
