Arcelik: a transformation story worth paying for (BUY - reinitiation of coverage)

We reinitiate coverage of Arcelik with a BUY rating and a 12M price target (PT) of TRY 207.5. We believe the revenue growth trajectory in its core markets, and the operational efficiencies to be exploited from Whirlpool deal, should remain the key pillars of the Arcelik investment case. We anticipate strong growth in its key financial metrics in 2024E, as Whirlpool’s European and MENA operations are consolidated. We believe that Arcelik is being mispriced by the market: on a 5.3x 2024E EV/EBITDA and a 9.2x 2024E P/E, the current price depicts a bearish outlook, in our view, and does not reflect Arcelik’s growth prospects.
