Remain Neutral, story could turn

Challenges may be ahead, yet not visible. 2Q17 results gained support from low-cost cable inventory, similar to 1Q17, in addition to strong metre sales volume and margins. Consequently, we raise our 12M TP by 12.9% to EGP96/share. While the stock’s sustainable P/E of 6x is 14% lower than its historical 1-year forward, we remain Neutral given: i) the need to demonstrate capacity in replenishing turnkey backlog, ii) high emphasis on collection of receivables (totalled EGP19bn in 2Q17), in addition to iii) risk of cost inflation eroding margins.
