ANY Security Printing Company: Presses to restart, followed by dividends and growth (BUY - transfer of coverage)

In this report, we transfer coverage of ANY Security Printing Company, trim our price target (PT) slightly, to HUF 1,424/share, and upgrade the stock to BUY, as we see upside of c.22%. We have cut our forecasts for this year, to include the effect of the health and economic crisis, but believe that a portion of the lost revenues from ANY’s key business segments has shifted in time, rather than being lost completely. Thus, we anticipate a recovery next year. The company could generate growth even in the longer term, due especially to its exposure to the speciality printing services segment and geographies with growth potential. We also expect the dividend payments to return next year and pencil in 100% payouts over our forecast period. This is also likely to result in superior dividends yields vs. its peers. Finally, we also highlight the company’s strong cash generation characteristics, and we believe the recent increase in the absolute and relative leverage is only temporary. At our EV/EBITDA of 8.0x for 2020E, ANY is trading at a premium vs. its peers, but its growth potential, top-line diversification, and superior dividend yields help to explain this premium, in our view.
