BIM - Don't Be Beguiled by 2017 Performance

BIM has shown robust top-line growth in 2017 thanks to high inflation and a pickup in traffic figures, which was mostly attributable to an improvement in consumer sentiment and a low base. In response, we now regard our operating performance estimates as too conservative so we upgrade them. For 2017 and 2018, our new forecasts are 3-4% ahead of the consensus on revenues and 6-7% ahead on EBITDA. Our new DCF-derived target price of TRY65.00 per share is still not high enough to upgrade our SELL recommendation. We recommend selling into any earnings momentum. Despite strong top-line growth this year, we have not seen any fundamental changes in the competitive environment, which has been pressuring traffic growth for years, particularly since 2014. As a result, we expect top-line growth to slow (from 20% to 15-17%) over the next few years. The current 12m forward EV/EBITDA of 15.0 implies a premium of 15% over the stock's 1y average, which includes both strong (1H17) and weak (2H16) periods.
