Polymetal - Strong 2Q19 Trading Update, TP Raised on Positive Gold Outlook

Polymetal has reported a strong 2Q19 trading update, with production results suggesting 3-4% upside to its full-year output guidance. We anticipate a strong set of financial results, forecasting 1H19 EBITDA rising 31% y-o-y to $400 mln, for a 42% margin. We have incorporated an updated $1,400/oz gold price forecast for 2020 into our model and run a scenario-based valuation with a gold price of $1,500/oz in the bull case. We raise our target price by 8% to $14.20/GBP11.42 per share and reiterate our BUY recommendation.
