We have downgraded GEVORKYAN to HOLD (from Buy), with a new 12M price target (PT) of CZK 257/share, implying 11% upside. The share price is 6% below its July 2022 IPO price. We believe the relatively high IPO valuation (12.6x EV/EBITDA) and the prolonged capex cycle are the key reasons for the rerating of the stock closer to its CEE industrial peers. While the capex cycle has enabled GEVORKYAN to expand capacity, buy high-end machinery and sign a record number of contracts, it is still not over....

We are upgrading Budimex (BDX) to BUY, from Hold. Our new 12M price target (PT) of PLN 750 (vs. PLN 730 previously) offers 20% potential upside. Having reduced our 2025E forecasts by several percents, we highlight the problem of the delays seen in the market in 2024, rather than the long-term investment pipeline, which remains strong. This is also supported by the announced acceleration in military investments. After taking a pause this year (limited single-digit growth), we expect 2026-27E to m...

Despite the strong start to the year, GEVORKYAN maintained a conservative outlook, guiding for 2025E revenue growth of 9% yoy and an EBITDA margin of c.32%. In our view, this is cautious, particularly...
