Raise target price to AED4.7/share on express segment growth; reiterate Overweight

Diversified growth warrants higher multiples. Aramex trades at 13.6x 2017e P/E, 16% below the courier peer average, which we believe is unjustified in light of higher growth prospects (2016-18 EBITDA CAGR of 16% vs. 9% for the sector). We upped our TP by 15% to reflect higher revenue growth estimates at the higher-margin express and logistics segments, although we cut the domestic express gross profit margin to 50% (from 55%) due to the consolidation of Fastway Australia (Feb-16). Our new TP implies 24% upside and we therefore reiterate our Overweight rating.
