Benefit Systems: making really good progress (stays BUY)

We maintain our BUY on Benefit Systems (BFT), with a new price target (PT) of PLN 1,630 (up from PLN 730), which implies attractive 39% potential upside. Despite the recent share price rally, we see the current valuation at 7.5x adjusted EV/EBITDA (non-IFRS 16) as attractive, below the historical double-digit levels and at a slight discount vs. its peers. With the rapidly expanding card base, price increases (B2B and B2C) to compensate for cost inflation and, in our view, larger post-pandemic market potential in the long term, we forecast a three-year adjusted EBITDA CAGR of 19% and an even stronger 29% for the adjusted EBIT. We note the net cash position, the moderate capex and the room for dividend payments (2023-25E dividend yields of 4-7%).
