BGC PARTNERS: ALKIM BUY MAINTAINED

• TP upped to TL32.6/share from TL25.8/share, BUY maintained… The rise is thanks mainly to our new macro estimates. Contracts in Alkim’s mining/chemical operations are mainly in EUR (around 70%) while costs are in TL; the company is a clear beneficiary of weak TL. On the paper side, prices are generally linked to US$, as the majority of the market consists of imported products and the main raw material cellulose is in US$. We see 43% upside potential including expected dividend yield. The stock trades at 6.9x 2018 P/E (2019E: 4.7x) and 5.4x 2018E EV/EBITDA (2019E: 3.9x).
