Zagreb Stock Exchange: remains BUY, following the share price dip (stays BUY)

In this report, we have updated our estimates for Zagreb Stock Exchange (ZSE) to reflect the numbers reported for 2Q22, while maintaining our BUY recommendation on the company’s shares. Our new price target (PT) now lands at HRK 22.6/share, offering upside of c.33.1% (down from HRK 27.9/share; we note that our previous PT of HRK 14.0/share had to be adjusted for the capital reduction and the effective 2:1 reverse split of the company’s shares, on 5 July 2022), following the recent share price dip. This exercise helped the company to offset its accumulated losses and will result in the ability to pay dividends in the near future, in our view. While our dividend yield estimate is below that of its peers, it is clearly a supportive move by the company. We also continue to argue that, due to the small scale of the ZSE’s operations, even a small increase in the company’s top line would be likely to result in quite a large improvement of its margins.
