Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising: more growth drivers ahead (BUY - transfer of coverage)

We transfer coverage of Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising (Al Arabia), reiterating our BUY rating, with an updated 12M price target of SAR 215, which offers 15% upside. Since our initiation in April 2023, the company’s share price has performed strongly, driven by new contracts and solid 1Q23 results, and has surpassed our previous PT of SAR 153. We remain positive on the name and have included the Faden Media deal, new contracts and gross margin expansion in our updated forecasts. The company trades at 20.7x 2024E EV/EBIT currently, a 10% premium vs. its international peers, which is fully deserved, in our view, due to Al Arabia’s superior growth and economics.
