We have downgraded GEVORKYAN to HOLD (from Buy), with a new 12M price target (PT) of CZK 257/share, implying 11% upside. The share price is 6% below its July 2022 IPO price. We believe the relatively high IPO valuation (12.6x EV/EBITDA) and the prolonged capex cycle are the key reasons for the rerating of the stock closer to its CEE industrial peers. While the capex cycle has enabled GEVORKYAN to expand capacity, buy high-end machinery and sign a record number of contracts, it is still not over....
