Bittnet Systems: Through M&A to RON 500m of sales (stays HOLD)

We reiterate our HOLD rating on Bittnet Systems (BNET) and cut our 12M price target (PT) to RON 0.36/share, from RON 0.79/share, implying 14% upside potential. We upgrade our sales forecasts for BNET by 30% in 2022-23E to reflect the transactions performed by the company. The company has further ambitious M&A plans in the mid-term, as it aims to increase the group’s revenue generating potential from RON 250m in 2022E to RON 500m in 2024E, but the details of the four-to-five additional deals planned by BNET have not been revealed yet. Due mainly to the uninspiring valuation multiples, but also to the limited visibility on the planned inorganic growth, we remain HOLDers of the stock. On our forecasts, BNET trades at 2022-23E EV/EBITDAs of 8.8-7.2x, at 16-5% premiums vs. its peers.
