Solutions by STC: slower growth on the horizon (stays HOLD)

We maintain our HOLD rating on Solutions by STC (Solutions), with an updated 12M price target (PT) of SAR 330, which offers 11% upside vs. the current price. We still like the company for its market-leading position and being the go-to IT name in Saudi Arabia, and we continue to believe that Solutions can preserve its market-leading position, but we note that its revenue growth visibility has been reduced, on the back of the slower-than-expected 1H24 top-line growth and the intensified competition in the Saudi IT sector. Solutions by STC is trading at a 20.8x P/E, on our 2025E estimate, a 14% discount vs. its global IT peers.
