Gear4music (G4M) has fulfilled the strong expectations of its four-month Christmas trading period. Revenue growth of 42% is consistent with H1 and is in line with expectations, both in the UK and faster growing international markets. This means that the online model continues to take share, achieving growth far ahead of consumer fundamentals and building on its market-leading position. We retain our forecast and reiterate our valuation stance, which sees upside based on the rate of development of international markets.
