Ibersol: Adding extra toppings

We reiterate our BUY rating on Ibersol with our FV nudging up to Eur15.8 (from Eur 15.4 - adjusted for the last bonus issue). We think the good 1Q18 results support our positive view, although their impact on the shares should be limited. Our buy case is supported by its attractive valuation (c. 5.5x EV/EBITDA 18E), and a capex plan that although relatively small is, in our view, value accretive. We also think this is an interesting way to gain exposure to rising Iberia consumer spending and tourism. Our estimates have been slightly cut due to the negative impact from a lower number of concessions held at Barcelona airport and also a negative impact from the devaluation of the Kwanza as Ibersol has 10 restaurants in Angola. Our EBITDA falls by 2% in 18E, 6% in 19E, but is flat for 2020E. Apart from those 2 negative effects, we expect organic growth to remain supported with c. 5% like for like sales growth in Portugal supported by tourism and stronger domestic demand.
