Real Estate/Homebuilders - 2Q17: Still Slow, but Improving

Homebuilders will start reporting 2Q17 operating results next week. The market remained challenging during the quarter, marked by persistent oversupply in both Moscow and St Petersburg and heightened competition among developers. Consumers remain price-sensitive, especially given such a wide choice of projects with improved quality and attractive offers. Nevertheless, we expect y-o-y improvements across the entire industry, not just the public players, though obviously with some degree of variation. In terms of presales, we expect PIK Group to continue delivering the highest growth (90%) following the consolidation of Morton. Etalon Group (19%) should recover from a drop in the previous quarter and take second place in growth terms, while LSR Group is likely to lag for an eighth quarter in a row. With LSR Group continuing to face challenges, Etalon Group remains our top pick in the sector thanks to its project diversification and improving FCF and dividend yield outlook.
