Migros - Kipa Offers Decent Upside

We raise our target price for Migros to TRY33.38 per share after adding Kipa to our model. We maintain our BUY recommendation. We have also increased our 2017 and 2018 top-line forecasts for Migros standalone due to a more upbeat outlook. Despite short-term challenges for the company, such as margin dilution and a heavier debt burden, we think the expected turnaround at Kipa and potential cash inflow from the sale of some of Kipa's fixed assets will ultimately prove value-accretive for Migros. With the turnaround, we see EV/EBITDA falling from 9.3 in 2017E to 6.8 in 2018E, and factoring in asset sales, we expect the current LTM net debt/EBITDA of 3.8 to slide below 2.0.
