Polymetal - Kyzyl Exceeding Expectations; Stock Fairly Priced at Current Levels

Polymetal hosted a visit to its Kyzyl project on October 18-19. The asset has been ramped up to full capacity ahead of schedule, and its strong performance suggests upside to Polymetal's full-year 2019 output guidance. Assuming an average gold price next year of $1,300/oz, we raise our 2019 EBITDA forecast to $990 mln and our LFCF projection to $400 mln. Polymetal trades at a 2018E EV/EBITDA of 7.6 and 2019E EV/EBITDA of 5.7, with a 2019E LFCF yield of 9%, which we see as justified given where Polyus and global peers are trading. We increase our target price from $9.64 to $10.60 per share and reiterate our HOLD recommendation.
