TMT Quarterly - Internet over Telecom
This is the inaugural issue of TMT Quarterly. This new publication is mainly aimed at updating the investment community on our sector views and sharing our most and least preferred stocks for the coming quarter. Since our stock preferences in this report are for a shorter horizon than our typical 12-month recommendations, there may be some deviation. Our preference for the next three months is internet stocks. Both Yandex (48% upside to our target price) and Mail.ru Group (67% upside) continue to enjoy good operating momentum thanks to the strong ad market, the launch of new verticals and the development of existing ones. Our least preferred stocks are MegaFon (6% downside) and Kcell (19% downside).
