Athens Exchange Group: Visible rebound (stays BUY)

We have increased our EBITDA estimates for Athens Exchange Group by >30% for 2021E, in view of the visible recovery in its volumes, market cap and ancillary income. We believe that the outlook ahead remains positive, with further upside risk for our forecasts, driven by the relatively low turnover velocity and market cap to GDP, and the potential inclusion of more stocks in the MSCI. On our increased 2021E numbers, the stock trades at an EV/EBITDA of 11.9x, a discount of 20-25% vs. its peers. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock and increase our price target (PT) to EUR 4.7/share (from EUR 4.0/share).
