Benefit Systems: grow baby, grow! (BUY - transfer of coverage)

We transfer coverage of Benefit Systems (BFT), maintaining our BUY on the stock. We set our 12-month price target (PT) at PLN 5,000 (from PLN 4,300), 32% potential upside. After solid results in 2025E, we expect BFT to maintain its earnings momentum and deliver an adjusted EBIT CAGR of 18% in 2025-27E. We turn more optimistic on the operations in Türkiye, as we expect the addition of sports cards to accelerate from 2026E-onwards, and the Fitness segment to remain highly profitable. As a result, Türkiye accounts for over 17% of BFT’s total adjusted EBIT in 2026E, on our estimates. We maintain our positive stance on the Poland segment (assuming further growth of scale, with relatively stable profitability, implying a 2Y adjusted EBIT CAGR of 8%) and anticipate a gradual improvement of the margins in the Foreign-EU segment (further expansion of the sports card base and the normalisation of the operating costs in the Fitness segment). Last but not least, we expect BFT, after the capex-intense 2025E, to return to positive FCF generation in 2026E, which could allow for dividend payments (dividend yields of 2.2-3.6% in 2026-27E) and the space for more potential acquisitions.
