Lang & Schwarz: Trading the retail renaissance; INITIATE WITH BUY - NuWays AG Research

The market is pricing Lang & Schwarz as if its story ended with Trade Republic. We disagree. The payment for order flow (PFOF) ban and Trade Republic's abrupt change in order routing and trading technology have reset earnings, but not the franchise. What remains is a profitable retail-market making platform with proprietary technology, substantial capital and a highly attractive Structured Products business. The focus should now shift from the earnings lost to the quality and growth potential that remain.

The de-risked earnings base deserves a new valuation. L&S trades at only 7.9x FY27e PER, versus peers at 10.3x. Our residual income model, based on € 193m of economic book value, supports our PT of € 20, implying c. 30% upside. INITIATE with BUY.
