GLOBALTRANS: Supply/Demand Balance May Turn to Deficit

We have revised our financial forecasts for Globaltrans after the company reported strong 1H17 IFRS results and paid generous interim dividends. We therefore increased our target price to $12.3 per GDR (from $8.70) based on a RUB/USD FX rate of 63.0, keeping our BUY rating unchanged. Notwithstanding its impressive performance YtD, Globaltrans remains an attractive long-term investment story, in our view. It benefits from accelerating Russian GDP and relatively high commodity prices, will continue to pay generous dividends with an expected yield of 7.0-10% (depending on future capex), and may increase the rate of new railcar purchases in coming years. Despite a sharp rise in gondola tariffs in 2017, we see moderate upside potential next year, as there is no respective surplus at present, and any unexpected uptick in demand may boost tariffs further.
