Overweight; yield and output growth offer upside

Discounted, despite yield and prospects. We reduce our TP by 9.5% to GBp190/share to align our forecasts with spot gold prices (-11% vs. previous estimate), production and cash cost guidance. The 6M share price weakness leaves a good entry point with 21% upside, ahead of expectations for robust operational performance in 2H17. Centamin trades on a 2018e EV/EBITDA of 5.2x, 8% lower than junior miners, but stands out on dividends, offering an attractive 2017e yield of 4.6%. Our valuation assumes constant gold prices of USD1,250/oz, with every USD100/oz movement equalling a +/-25% change in our TP.
