Elm: digital enabler (HOLD - initiation of coverage)

We initiate coverage of Elm with a HOLD rating and a SAR 712 price target (PT), which offers just 4% upside from the current price. The company operates in the Saudi IT sector, with a focus on developing digital products and services, by partnering with ministries and other public entities. It trades at a 32.7x 2024E P/E, a 62% premium to its global IT peers. In our view, the premium is well deserved, thanks to the company’s superior growth and margins vs. its global IT peers, as well as its robust business model. Despite being a quality company, however, we believe that most of the positive factors have been priced in.
