Fondul Proprietatea: uplift from power prices (stays BUY)

Fondul Proprietatea (FP, the Fund) has outperformed the market by 29% in the past 12 months, and returned close to 35% over the same period, including dividends. We believe the strong momentum has been sustained by: cash distributions; expectations and the announcement of Hidroelectrica’s listing; and the improving profitability and valuation of Hidroelectrica, due to the rising power prices. We expect the NAV to appreciate, as we see additional upside in the valuation of Hidroelectrica and we expect the discount to NAV to reduce with Hidroelectrica’s listing. We keep our BUY rating and set our 12M price target (PT) at RON 2.49/share (from RON 2.27), implying 25% upside potential.
