Solutions by STC: M&A as the next stage of growth (HOLD - transfer of coverage)

In this report, we transfer coverage of Solutions by STC (Solutions), downgrading our rating on the company to HOLD, from BUY, with an updated 12M price target (PT) of SAR 334, which offers c.5% upside. Since our initiation (click here for more details), the company’s share price has performed strongly, fuelled by acquisitions and solid results, and has surpassed our previous PT of SAR 287. We continue to like Solutions for its leading position in the market and its one-stop shop approach, but view the current valuation as uninspiring, as we believe that most of the positive factors have been priced in.
