TCS - Back to Where We Began

Four years after its IPO, TCS's share price is almost back to where it began, but we think that there's more to come. TCS finds itself in a very sweet spot in terms of the nascent Russian consumer credit cycle and is benefiting from its very strong market position in a less-crowded field, as well as the traction that it is gaining in its non-credit businesses. We raise our 2018-19 EPS forecasts by 26% and 17%, respectively, which still imply a lower earnings CAGR than the management guides (13% in 2018-19 versus 20-40%). We project ROE of around 50% this year and next, so we think there is still upside for a stock trading at a 2018E P/E of 8.1, and we raise our target price to $19.50, keeping our BUY recommendation.
