Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising: exclusivity in a growing market (stays BUY)

We maintain our BUY on Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising (Al Arabia), with an updated 12M price target (PT) of SAR 304, which offers 18% upside. Since our previous update, in July 2023, the company’s share price has performed strongly, driven by winning a number of lucrative contracts, such as Riyadh and King Khalid International Airport. The Riyadh project is the major long-term revenue driver, in our view, which should also strengthen the company’s competitive position significantly locally. Al Arabia is trading at 17.9x 2025E P/E, on our estimates, at a 19% premium vs. its global outdoor advertising peers. Given Al Arabia’s superior growth and profitability, with a 2023-25E EBIT CAGR of 46%, on our estimates, vs. its peers’ median of only 16% (on the consensus), we see this premium as fully justified.
