Diagnostyka: take a test (BUY - initiation of coverage)

We initiate coverage of Diagnostyka with a BUY rating and a 12M price target (PT) of PLN 159/share. Diagnostyka is the leader of the Polish medical diagnostics market, with a 22% share in the total addressable medical laboratory testing market and 49% in the private segment. Operating in the hub-and-spoke model, the company combines economies of scale with superior proximity and attractive prices. By 2028E, Diagnostyka’s management expects to double its sales, outperforming Bain and Co.’s market growth forecast of 65% via organic growth, enhanced by M&A and its expansion into the diagnostic imaging segment. In 2023-26E, we forecast Diagnostyka to grow at CAGRs of 17% in sales, 20% in EBITDA and 30% in earnings. Our valuation is based on the average of: i) our DCF; and ii) the multiples of its global diagnostics peers; and iii) CEE healthcare peers.
