Halyk Bank - Closing Outperform Trade Idea

We are closing the trade idea that we opened on May 27 to be long Halyk Bank. Since opening this trade idea, the stock has returned 27% in dollar terms compared to, for example, an 18% increase for Sberbank and 6% for the RTS Index. WHY WE ARE CLOSING THE TRADE IDEA NOWOur thinking was that Halyk Bank would outperform its regional peers on the back of a good set of 1Q20 IFRS results, a cautiously positive outlook from the management and a potentially upbeat message on the 2019 dividends. This played out on all three fronts. Halyk Bank's share price has had a very strong run over the past week or so and the stock has rerated to a 2021E P/E of 4.5, from 3.5 when we opened the trade idea. This is still not expensive, and we remain positive on the stock as a long-term investment, but we think it is an opportune time to close this near-term outperform call.
