VGP: Firing on all cylinders 24.09.2018

VGP delivered a solid 1H18 update, outperforming our estimates by over 20% and beating our growth projections for 2018-20. To reflect this, we have adjusted our NRI, development and earnings growth forecasts, triggering a TP increase from € 78 to € 81. The reporting also suggests that VGP might provide an update on its JV structure sooner than expected, thereby unlocking more growth. VGP has significantly expanded its workforce to 170 employees across 10 different countries, underpinning growth prospects for the years ahead. 2018 will be a year of strengthening and streamlining the management team. With a forward earnings yield of 11.2% and a exp. dividend yield of 4.5%, we believe the 24% upside implied by our € 81 Target Price is achievable.
