To be the owners of the biggest gas project in the EU, at a time when the former biggest supplier is threatening, once again, to cut supply off, is perhaps an enviable situation to be in, in our view. The contracts have been signed, construction has begun, and the drilling rig has arrived. However, we still need to wait until 2027E for completion, and the partners are boosting their capital expenditure to record levels. While the future is being constructed, the past continues to fade, with both...

Updating our model following the 9M24 results and rolling over our DCF, we see an updated valuation range of EUR 29.8-36.0/share, or a midpoint of EUR 32.9/share (EUR 36.3/share previously), for Ilirija. Looking at the 9M24 results: 1) we observe somewhat lower than expected price increases yoy in the hotel and camping segments; 2) we see that wage inflation remains a challenge; and 3) occupancy rates, while growing, have yet to converge with the pre COVID-19 levels. These are now reflected in o...

We have downgraded Asseco Poland (ACP) to HOLD (from Buy) and cut our price target (PT) to PLN 102.5 (from PLN 103.0), implying 12% upside potential. We take profit after ACP’s stock price has rallied 31% ytd, but we remain positive on the name and would take advantage of any price correction. We continue to believe that ACP should benefit from easing pressure on salaries, AI-powered tools application and EU funds inflows into Poland. However, the profitability improvement story is unfolding mor...

With benchmark refining margins falling to long-term average levels in September, we see little hope for a rebound in the short term. Oil prices are down, due to slowing demand growth, which flags further possible declines in margins. Energy costs remain significantly above pre-pandemic levels, putting European refiners at a disadvantage, while many of the usual crude oil supplies are not available, or are significantly more expensive. Both companies have made the most of recent windfalls, makin...
