Terna Energy: Blessed child of Aeolus (BUY - initiation of coverage)

We initiate coverage of Terna Energy, the largest renewable energy sources (RES) company in Greece, with a BUY recommendation and a price target (PT) of EUR 6.90/share, offering 32% upside potential. We like Terna for its: i) stable cash flow stream for the next 18+ years, based on its current capacity; ii) continuous revenue growth, followed by successive EBITDA margin improvements; iii) MW portfolio expansion; and iv) attractive valuation, trading at a big discount vs. its peers. Terna is the largest renewables player in the domestic market, achieving a revenue CAGR of c.17.4% in the past four years, coupled with an impressive installed capacity of 442MW, reaching 986MW as of 2017. We believe the positive outlook is likely to continue in the future, with Terna achieving the targeted 2GW portfolio expansion within the next seven years.
