Overweight on robust recovery and expansions

Remain buyers on 2018 expansions. eXtra issued guidance of 3 new stores in 2018, ahead of our expectations of 1 store. We raise our 2017-18 capex by 29% to factor in higher space additions (+6.5% y-o-y), supply chain and online store investments. This should drive 2017-19 EPS CAGR of 12%, coupled with a sustained recovery in margins and store yields. Therefore, we raise our 12M TP by 13% to SAR58/share as we roll-over our DCF, on 23bps higher EBITDA margins. The market sell-off offers a good entry point, as eXtra trades on 2018e P/E of 12.2x, 15% below peers, despite its better growth outlook. Costs should remain contained thanks to eXtra’s cost cutting measures and better sales mix, mitigating any cost pressures.
