BGC PARTNERS - ARCELIK UPGRADED TO BUY

• A good entry point, upgrading to BUY… We have revised forecasts to reflect a stronger revenue and EBITDA than before, but 7% lower earnings in 2018E to account for higher financial costs. We have also revisited our DCF to reflect the higher market rates. Our new 12-mth price target of TL22.3/sh is 7% lower than before. However, given the poor performance of the shares (4% underperformance YTD), we foresee a 12-mth total return potential of 27% (incl. 4% dividend yield), and upgrade Arcelik to BUY from HOLD. The company is trading at a c19% and c17% discount to its historical forward P/E and EV/EBITDA respectively, according to Bloomberg consensus. This is a good entry point to gain exposure to this blue-chip with a global expansion strategy and relative immunity to volatility in the Turkish market with over 60% of business outside Turkey
