Kety: Top dividend payer, with all-time high EBITDA (stays BUY)

We reiterate our BUY on Kety, and raise our 12M price target (PT) from PLN 794/share to PLN 803/share (28% upside potential). Kety delivered a stellar set of preliminary 2021 results (when the forecasts were raised three times and the expected EBITDA increased by 38% in total). We are also positive on 2022E, and assume Kety’s EBITDA to rise 6% yoy, to an all-time high of PLN 949m (17% above the consensus; 15% above Kety’s figure), which should result in an increase in the company’s forecast for 2022E. Moreover, given the low gearing (2021-22E end ND/EBITDA at 1.0-1.4x), we believe the shareholders may request a 100%dividend payout, implying a DPS of PLN 60 (a 9%+ yield). This would make Kety the only stock offering a near double-digit yield, among the Polish large- and mid-caps, and triple the average for the WIG index. Finally, Kety trades at our 2022E EV/EBITDA of 7.5x (a 14% discount to its long-term level).
