Enea – The strongest performance momentum in the industry

 

Enea represents, in theory, the best exposure to the widening coal-based generation margin in Poland. However, it has been one of the worst investments in the industry YTD. Enea’s EV/EBITDA’19-20 is now at a 20% discount to its close peers, which hardly finds a rational explanation, especially given the momentum of Enea’s results (which conforms that the profitability issue in 2018 was temporary), FCF outlook (FCFE yield >9% in the next three years) and relatively low-carbon generation fleet (0.8t/MWh). The strength of its balance sheet would put Enea back on track of dividend payouts, especially that the subsidiary LWB has recently decided to share its profits with shareholders. However, we maintain the Buy recommendation at a slightly lower target price of PLN 12.41 (due to conservative inclusion of perpetual usufruct in Net Debt under IFRS 16).
