OPAP | Glimpse into Q1’18 – looking for +3.5% yoy EBITDA growth

We offer a glimpse into OPAP’s upcoming Q1 2018 results, anticipating sequentially better group revenue run rates thanks to the contribution of virtual games and VLTs. We also explain why VLTs’ deceleration – as reflected in the average daily revenue per machine in Q1 – should not be extrapolated into the future.

We reiterate OPAP as one of our top picks, with our thesis underpinned by improving operating performance and a generous dividend policy.
