Inter Cars: solid play, attractively priced (BUY - transfer of coverage)

In this report, we transfer coverage of Inter Cars (CAR), maintaining our BUY rating. We increase our 12M price target (PT) by 6% to PLN 670, which offers an attractive 38% potential upside. The increase stems from our upward forecasts revisions, on both the top line and EBITDA profitability. While we see some downside risks for the gross margin this year, and some pressure on SG&A from rising salaries and, temporarily, also due to logistics capacities expansion next year, we forecast a sound 11% EBITDA CAGR over 2022-25E. We believe there is room for positive surprises vs. the current Bloomberg consensus for the 2023-24E EBITDA (we are 5-8% above). We view the current c.30% discount vs. its peers on 2023-24E EV/EBITDAs as an attractive entry point.
