We have downgraded our rating for Al Arabia to HOLD (from Buy), with an updated price target (PT) of SAR 214, which offers 7% upside. We still like Al Arabia for its market-leading position, strong growth prospects, position as an Outdoor Advertising champion, and as one of the beneficiaries of the Vision 2030 programme. We note, however, that the upcoming revenue growth will be slower than originally expected, with more pressure on the gross margin, while new projects are yet to be announced. T...

OTE has reported a soft set of 2Q24 results, with sales up 7% yoy, to EUR 911m (in line with our forecast), and an adjusted EBITDA decline of 2% yoy, at EUR 344m (in line with our estimate), due mainly to a contraction in the Romanian segment adjusted EBITDA. We see the 2Q24 results as neutral as they are in line with our expectations in terms of sales and EBITDA, while the beat on the net income level was driven primarily by lower-than-expected D&A. We expect no significant market reaction.

By business, Biedronka sales grew +6% to € 5.8bn, significantly decelerating vs Q1 (+19%) negatively impacted by the calendar effect reversal, hard comps, basket deflation and a very competitive pricing environment. L-f-l deteriorated notably q-o-q to -4.6% (below expected). Hebe: sales grew ...
With Q2 missing expectations in terms of both sales and EBITDA, mostly because Biedronka is still suffering from deflation and a price war in Poland, we foresee a negative share price reaction today. The consensus looks c.6% too high on FY EBITDA. Betting on a recovery in the Polish market and revi
