We maintain our BUY rating on Wirtualna Polska (WPL) and lift our 12M price target (PT) to PLN 133.2/share (from PLN 131.5), implying c.44% upside.

The key differences in the 2024E outlook between APR and CAR were reflected in the 1Q24 yoy SG&A dynamics, with CAR weathering the cost pressure better, in our view. Despite the short-term challenges, we believe the long-term funda...
