Adjust TP to reflect 1:10 stock split

Maintain Underweight; adjust TP after 1:10 stock split. We adjust our TP to reflect AMOC’s 1:10 stock split, effective 19 April. AMOC’s share price rallied 27% since the split was announced in February, even though, in our view, little has changed in the meantime. AMOC trades on a 2017/18e P/E of 9.9x, 11% below global peers, which is expensive, given its exposure to Egypt and its FY17-18e EPS growth of -14.4% vs. 22.1% for peers.
