HEADLINES: • Kaspi.kz: stock down 17% yesterday on report by short seller Culper • Kety: 3Q24 preliminary results close to our expectations NEUTRAL • Logo Yazilim: CMC approves cancellation of treasury shares POSITIVE • Wizz Air: 24-hour strike called for 24 September by third-party Italian union • AUGA Group: coverage discontinued • Short News (CEZ)
HEADLINES: • Colt CZ Group SE: full metal jacket (stays BUY) • Pegasus Airlines: another good year (stays HOLD) • Allegro: 2Q24 above expectations, but growth deceleration guided for 3Q24E NEUTRAL • Echo Investment: 2Q24 ahead of PAP consensus expectations • Auto Partner: key takeaways from the 2Q24 earnings call NEUTRAL • Halyk Bank: announces programme to buy back up to USD 50m of its GDRs
We have increased our 12M price target (PT) for Pegasus to TRY 248/share, while maintaining our HOLD rating. After two years of stellar margins, 2024E is shaping up to be another good year. We expect Pegasus to fly 13% more ASK, while keeping its RASK flat yoy (lower fares offset by a higher load factor). Pegasus remains one of the lowest unit cost producers globally. Its efficiency is underpinned by its modern neo fleet, which is not affected by the P&W GTF engine issue – an important competiti...
HEADLINES: • Aegean Airlines: margins and fares normalising, after stellar 2023 (stays HOLD) • Lamda Development: 2Q24 – good sales at the Ellinikon, capex to accelerate • EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (9-15 September) • Bank of Cyprus: AGM approves delisting from the LSE, and relisting on the ATHEX POSITIVE • Short News (CEZ, RICHT)
We maintain our HOLD rating on Aegean Airlines, adjusting our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 11.0/share, implying 2% upside. In 3Q24E, we expect the RASK to drop 3% yoy, driven by high competition, industry-wide pressure on fares, and the high base of last year. This will likely put some pressure on profitability. We pencil in the 3Q24E EBITDA margin to fall 4ppts yoy, to 31%, driven by a weaker RASK and higher ex-fuel unit costs (due mainly to GTF engine inspections) in the key summer quarter. De...
Aegean Airlines has announced that it may be buying up to a 21% stake in Volotea, investing up to EUR 50m via convertible notes, in two tranches of Volotea capital increases. At this stage, we see this mostly as a financial investment. That said, the two carriers will also be cross-selling each other’s tickets, and Volotea may use Aegean’s maintenance facilities and its flight simulators. Privately-owned, we have not found Volotea's recent financial statements, so we cannot assess the implied mu...

EME Equity Market – August 2024 A red month for the EME indices, with only the Czech PX index in positive territory. The MSCI EM Europe index declined by 4.7% in EUR terms and 2.6% in USD terms in August. The Czech PX index was the only index to report a positive figure, adding 0.5% mom in EUR terms. The rest of the indices were in the red: the Turkish ISE30 index was down 11.5% mom in EUR terms, followed by Greece (-3.2% mom), Romania (-2.6% mom) and Hungary (-1.2% mom; all in EUR terms). The P...
On Friday (30 August), 4iG reported its 2Q24 results, with sales of HUF 170.7bn (up 13% yoy, in line with our estimate), EBITDA of HUF 56.4bn (down 4% yoy, 3% below our estimate) and a net loss of HUF 11.5bn (vs. HUF 3.2bn in net profit in 2Q23 and our PLN 5.7m net loss forecast). Despite the EBITDA coming in 3% below our estimate, we see the outcome of the 2Q24 results as neutral, and we do not expect them to trigger any major market reaction.

Pegasus has managed to reverse the negative RASK trend of the first quarter, delivering a 4% higher RASK yoy in 2Q24. This was driven by a materially stronger load factor yoy, as well as a good ancillary take up, which offset the pressure on passenger yields (the international passenger yield was down to EUR 68/pax, from EUR 75/pax in 2Q23). The company has maintained its guidance of a flat RASK, a mid-to-high single digit higher ex-fuel CASK (CASKx), and a 28-30% EBITDA margin for 2024E. Follow...

Wizz Air’s unit profitability is struggling to take off, towards the pre-pandemic levels. Instead, the stock has plunged, following the latest guidance cut, last week. We had been sceptical that the former guidance was attainable. Now, our concern is that the new guidance could still prove too ambitious (especially the ex-fuel CASK (CASKX) growth staying contained in single digits in FY25E). This is problematic, as Wizz needs to work on winning back its credibility and the market’s trust – and a...
