Rafako – Quarterly forecasts

In our opinion the majority of the risk factors that could hurt the Company have already materialized and we do not see any further strong negative catalysts in the ST.

A blowdown and wash-down process of the boiler ended in Jaworzno which contributed to cleaning of pressure surfaces of the unit from possible contaminant leftovers after the mechanical assembly. At the moment the hot start of the unit is underway and the first syncing of the unit with the electrical grid will be attempted.

Then any possible defects may be detected. Rafako and Tauron have agreed on a new date of the works completion so the Company has additional time to ensure the investment is buttoned up which provides a kind of a safety buffer.

Given no ST risk factors and vanishing of the negative sentiment after poor 2Q19 results we upgrade our ST relative rating to Neutral from Underweight. We believe the Jaworzno investment completion on time is still under the big question mark and that’s why we maintain our LT fundamental recommendation at Hold despite a huge upside (c. 80%). Our 12M EFV drops to PLN 1.8 per share from 2.3 previously.
