At the 1Q17 results call, management said they had agreed to buy Lestenergia (144 MW of wind in Portugal and in operation) from ACS, most likely in 3Q17. The price was not disclosed, we would estimate an EV in the region of €200mn. The equity (some €100mn) should be paid with existing cash after the Carapé acquisition closes in the next few weeks.
Saeta is committed to produce double-digit CAFD growth in 2017, up from the current €61.4mn and €68.5mn after Carapé. We would not rule out the possibility of an additional ROFO dropdown in 2017, a move that would ensure that CAFD grows. This could potentially see higher dividends and put the prospective div yield somehow above 10%. With its acquisition strategy, Saeta is increasing the yield for its shareholders without calling for new capital.
Our Buy recommendation and target price of €11.70 per share are unchanged.
