The ATHEX has shed c3% since the start of August, significantly underperforming vs both broader Europe (Stoxx 600 +0.7%) and periphery markets (MIB +2.8%). Performance has been weighed down primarily by banks, which have fallen c7% over the period, compared to a c4% return registered by their EU peers. Non-financials have also stalled, with just a handful of companies in the green since August (mostly from the mid-cap space). Of note is that this move is out of sync with fundamentals, as most co...

Metlen Energy & Metals achieved a record H1 EBITDA of €474m in 2024 (vs €437m in H123), while also increasing its operating margin by 169bp to 19.1% (17.4% at H123).

Both net profit after minorities and earnings per share increased b...
HEADLINES: • Lamda Development: closes sale of Ellinikon resi land plots for EUR 106m POSITIVE • Metlen Energy & Metals: 1H24 results – a glimpse into a much-improved future POSITIVE • Grupa Pracuj: 2Q24E preview – flat yoy adjusted EBITDA expected (due on 29 August) • cyber_Folks: 2Q24E preview – 16% yoy adjusted EBITDA growth (due on 3 September) • Vercom: 2Q24E preview – 31% yoy adjusted EBITDA growth (due on 3 September)
This morning’s (25 July) 1H24 results announcement should serve as a glimpse of a much-improved future, in our view, in that Metlen managed to counterbalance the sharp drop in energy prices during the period and increased its profitability. We also note that, as 2Q24 evolved, the prices for aluminium and, particularly, alumina increased significantly; while, at the same time, the wholesale electricity prices in Greece also moved markedly higher, reaching 18-month highs in July, owing to the coun...
Thesis intact, “windfall profits” tax just a mild temporary setback – In line with the pattern observed since 2022, refining margins continue to eclipse expectations, staying well above mid-cycle levels (H1’24 c$12/bbl vs mid-cycle $6-8/bbl), with MOH on track to report FY’24e EBITDA near €1bn (-36% yoy but >100% vs 2019). Since 2022, MOH’s strong FCF has been deployed in shareholder returns (>7.5% yield), scaling-up of RES, other value-accretive projects and improvement of the leverage profile....

HEADLINES: • Metlen Energy & Metals: the art of continued growth (BUY - reinitiation of coverage) • Kaspi.kz: 2Q24 highlights – in line with guidance in 1H24 • Solutions by STC: mixed 2Q24 financial results NEGATIVE • Magyar Telekom: 2Q24E preview – 25% yoy growth in EBITDA expected (due on 7 August) • Cyfrowy Polsat: 2Q24E preview – 3% yoy increase in adjusted EBITDA expected (due on 21 August) • Short News (PPC)
We reinitiate coverage of Metlen Energy & Metals (Metlen), with a BUY and a SOTP-derived, DCF-based price target (PT) of EUR 45.5/share, implying 25% upside from current levels. We firmly believe that the upcoming 1H24E earnings release will demonstrate, once again, that the group’s many moving parts, while difficult to monitor, arguably, are a blessing in disguise, as they offset separate weaknesses in difficult industry conditions and, seemingly, work in lockstep to accentuate a rebound in the...
Strong 2024 & catalysts ahead; Buy – The robust results over the past two years along with the increase in the free float following the successful private placement of 11% of the shares in December 2023 have brought HelleniQ Energy in the spotlight in recent months, as manifested in the substantial increase in trading volumes in 2024. As refining margins still hover above mid-cycle levels ytd (c$15/bbl), we anticipate 2024 to be another year of robust profitability, estimating FY’24e group EBITD...
