(PNDORA: Baa2/BBB)
- Silver has broken multi-decade highs, now +60% y/y at $50/oz. Gold is up 50% y/y.
- For Pandora Silver is 30% of COGS, Gold 5%.
- The group is fully hedged on Silver for 2025 (at ~$28/oz) and ~70–75% hedged for 2026 (at ~$31/oz).
- If prices hold at $50/oz we see a eventual 250bp margin headwind. This is un-mitigated impact (before price increase). It is in-line with mgmt sensitivity for a 10% increase in Silver AND Gold impacting EBIT by 70bps.
We have historically liked Pandora. We think levels are fair here with a slight skew to near term catalyst looking negative. 3Q earnings 5 Nov.
