We maintain our BUY rating on Inter Cars (CAR) and our HOLD on Auto Partner (APR). The 2024E outlook now seems more challenging for auto parts distributors than we assumed in our February update. We believe, however, that this has already been priced in by the market. 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...

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).

Air Astana Group has not suffered a similar setback in demand and fares as we have seen recently in Europe. It seems that the demand for flying in Kazakhstan remains strong, and management sounded a confident note on the 3Q24E bookings and fares. That said, due partly to one-off factors (including the 1H23 revenue boost, driven by people migrating from Russia, fleeing the draft, and due to the IPO expenses incurred in 1H24), the CASK growth is set to outpace the RASK this year. Unless the summer...
