Fondul Proprietatea: NAV discount to shrink with Hidroelectrica IPO (stays BUY)

Fondul Proprietatea (FP, the Fund) has outperformed the market by 20% in the LTM, and returned close to 16%, including dividends. We believe the performance has been sustained by cash distributions, and both the expectations for Hidroelectrica’s listing and its improving valuation, due to rising power prices. We expect the discount to NAV to reduce with the monetisation of the Hidroelectrica stake, which we expect within the next six months. We value the latter at RON 12.2bn, 11% above the current market cap of the fund. We keep our BUY rating and set our new 12M price target (PT) at RON 2.42/share (from RON 2.49 previously), implying 26% upside potential.
