HeadHunter: More Skillaz, more quality (stays BUY)

Following the solid share price performance of 14% since our latest update at the end of March, we believe there is still more upside to this story, following the strong 1Q21 results, the consolidation of Skillaz and the upgraded 2021E guidance. As a result, we raise our PT to USD 49.0 (19% upside potential), from USD 43.2 previously. The consolidation of Skillaz should strengthen HeadHunter’s market position further, as well as the network effect by providing full range of recruitment services. More importantly, the upgraded guidance reflects the improved business and industry conditions. HeadHunter now trades at 18.3x 2022E EV/EBITDA, on our estimates vs. 19.5x for its global online recruitment peers and 22.5x EV/EBITDA for its other classified peers (on consensus).
