Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising: waiting for better times (downgraded to HOLD)
We have downgraded our rating for Al Arabia to HOLD (from Buy), with an updated price target (PT) of SAR 214, which offers 7% upside. We still like Al Arabia for its market-leading position, strong growth prospects, position as an Outdoor Advertising champion, and as one of the beneficiaries of the Vision 2030 programme. We note, however, that the upcoming revenue growth will be slower than originally expected, with more pressure on the gross margin, while new projects are yet to be announced. The company trades at a 26.2x 2025E P/E, at a 57% premium to its peers’ average, although we believe the premium is fully deserved, thanks to the company’s superior revenue CAGR of 36% 2023-25E, vs. just 3% for its peers on consensus, as well as its market-leading position.
