Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising: Saudi Arabia’s outdoor advertising champion (BUY - initiation of coverage)

Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising (Al Arabia) is the tenth-largest outdoor advertising company globally, and the largest player in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), with a >60% market share. A family-run business, Al Arabia has been operating since 1983. It has delivered faster growth and better margins than its international peers, but trades at 10-35% discounts on our 2024E P/E and EV/EBIT multiples. The company should benefit not only from improving macro conditions in Saudi Arabia, but also from structural reforms aimed at launching new infrastructure projects, the rise of tourism and changing lifestyles. We initiate coverage with a BUY rating and a SAR 153 price target (PT).
