Terna Energy: Long term only (stays BUY)

We have updated our estimates for Terna Energy to account for: 1) the new 330MW Kafireas Project; 2) the disposal of the 138MW Idaho wind park and the acquisition of Bearkat, at 158MW; 3) the completion of the Evoia Project; and 4) its increased capex needs for 2020-22E. Despite the strong rally of 51% ytd, our valuation still yields an attractive 27.5% upside potential, on our new 12M price target (PT) of EUR 14.8/share. We believe Terna Energy remains an attractive story, due to its continuous portfolio expansion, strong cash flow generation and solid track record. By end-2020E, it should have installed capacity of 1.37GW in renewables, with 550MW in the pipeline. On our numbers, the stock trades at a 2020E P/E of 21.5x and 10.8x EV/EBITDA (excluding Tax Equity financial liabilities), with the multiples becoming more competitive after the delivery of the 330MW project in 2022E, as profitability kicks in. We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock, for investors who seek exposure in Greece with a longer-term investment horizon.
