** Shares in CCC CCCP.WA jump 18% to November 2021 highs after the Polish footwear and fashion retailer's Q1 results came in above expectations

** Q1 EBITDA came in at 304 million zlotys ($76.50 million), above the 218 million consensus estimate cited by Erste Group

** While the results were boosted by the one-off gain from sale of a warehouse "we must also appreciate" gross margin rising by 5.1 pp and cost discipline, Erste Group analyst Krzysztof Kawa says in a note

** "CCC 1Q24 PLN 304m of EBITDA accounts for 20.7% of our yearly forecast in usually the weakest quarter of the year. It bodes well for the realization of the latter or even gives room for the outperformance," Kawa says

** If gains hold, the stock will see its best day since November 2020; it is second-most traded stock on Warsaw Stock Exchange after utility Tauron TPE.WA and rises the most among Polish stocks

** Shares in discount retailer Pepco PCOP.WA and fashion retailer LPP LPPP.WA rise 5% and 0.4%, respectively
