Solutions by STC: M&A remain the main source of growth (stays HOLD)

We maintain our HOLD rating on Solutions by STC (Solutions), with an updated 12M price target (PT) of SAR 396, which offers 10% upside from current prices. We continue to like the company for its market-leading position and one-stop shop approach, but note that future growth will be highly dependant on prospective M&A deals, which also act as the main catalyst for a future rerating. Solutions trades currently at a 22.7x 2025E P/E, at a small discount of 3% to its global peers. Given the uninspiring valuation and lack of near-term catalysts, we believe that our HOLD rating is justified.
