Benefit Systems: don’t stop me now (stays BUY)

We maintain our BUY rating on Benefit Systems (BFT), following the better 2Q23 results than expected and strong management guidance. These have triggered material upward revisions to both our 2023-25E earnings forecasts and our long-term assumptions. Despite the strong ytd share price performance (+145%, outperforming the mWIG40 index by 120ppt), our revised forecasts still imply an attractive valuation for BFT, at a 2023E adjusted EV/EBITDA of 8.3x (non-IFRS 16). Our new price target (PT) of PLN 2,700 implies 48% potential upside.
