Polish retailer Eurocash soars on better-than-expected Q3 results
** Shares of Polish food retailer Eurocash EUR.WA rise as much as 14.2% after its preliminary third-quarter results beat market expectations on lower costs
** Erste Group analyst Piotr Bogusz says that the company "significantly exceeded expectations" due to a higher-than-expected gross margin and lower-than-expected selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses
** However, he remains "sceptical about the rebound potential," pointing to potential working capital issues and structural challenges amid declining sales
** Trigon analyst Piotr Chodyra notes the results show the group is "evolutionarily moving in the right direction"
** The shares are on track for their best day since March 28, 2023
