BGC Partners - YATAS (Company Update - BUY (maintained), 41% upside)

Unjustified weakness after softer 3Q19… In 3Q19, Yatas posted 13.0% EBITDA margin, a lower figure vs. 2Q19’s 16.3% due mainly to 1) weaker revenues in July (sales were front-loaded to June as VAT cut to 8% from 18% ended at June-end), 2) deliberate delay in Divan’s store openings, 3) higher opex due to the move of the headquarters (one-off expense). Shares underperformed the index by 7% in the last month which we find unjustified as 1) a strong 4Q19 is expected (monthly figures indicate a robust quarter), 2) no change in long-term targets (Divan will accelerate in 2020), 3) favorable outlook thanks to declining interest rates and demographics, and 4) attractive multiples for 2020 and onwards
