Yandex - Riding the Opportunity

We see 40% upside from the valuation of the Yandex.Taxi JV deal, based on our top-down analysis of Russia's shared transport market. We expect Yandex to be the main beneficiary of the market's growth (to R1.6 trln by 2025) and see it capturing a share of around 50%. Excluding taxi and e-commerce, Yandex is trading below the historical average at an 11.1 2018E EV/EBITDA, which is unjustified given its healthy 2017-20E EBITDA CAGR of 19.6%. The above factors have caused us to raise our target price by 30% to $50.90 per share.
