AD Plastik: The worst is over, but outlook still uncertain (stays HOLD)

Following the 2020 full results release, on 17 February, we have updated our model and increased our 12M price target (PT) for AD Plastik to HRK 203/share (from HRK 147). The higher valuation is driven mainly by the company’s flexible cost control and improving sales figures, but also the clearer outlook for the industry, its decision to pay a dividend this year, and higher peer multiples. We believe the risk of shutting down plants is limited currently, but we note that some risks, which are outside the company’s control, related to the pandemic, are ongoing. We are particularly uncertain about the form of the market rebound this year and we do not have the company’s 2021E guidance yet. By proposing to pay a dividend, however, AD Plastik is showing confidence, in our view, and we see the company as a solid investment going forward. After the recent rally, which we see as justified, we maintain our HOLD rating on AD Plastik, with 10% upside to the current price.
