We have downgraded our rating on Magyar Telekom (MTELEKOM) to HOLD (from Buy) and raised our price target (PT) to HUF 1,635/share (from HUF 1,432), implying 4% upside potential. After keeping our Buy for four years (with a 289% share price rally in that time), we close our call. We continue to appreciate MTELEKOM’s growth outlook (a 7.0% 2024-27E EBITDA CAGR) and generous investor remuneration (a c.10% dividend yield in 2025-26E), but see the current discount on its valuation vs. its peers as ju...

We have downgraded our rating for Pepco Group (Pepco) to HOLD, from Buy, cutting our price target (PT) to PLN 17.6/share, from PLN 31.5.

At the same time, we see the company’s local competitors accelerating their store rollouts massively, and Pepco’s e-commerce strategy as vague.
