We maintain our long-term positive outlook on the Saudi Healthcare sector. The introduction of NHIC is a key catalyst for the sector which is expected to 1) increase the insurance penetration by 3x and 2) improve the receivables cycle. We expect the sector's bed capacity to record a CAGR of 10% during 2022-25f, while revenue and net income are forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% and 21.7%, respectively. We maintain our neutral rating across our coverage, as we believe the current valuations...

This is lower than the SNB Capital and consensus estimates of SAR142mn and SAR143mn, respectively.

We remain positive on the Saudi healthcare sector driven by the Healthcare Transformation Program (HSTP). The establishment of the Healthcare Holding Company (HHC) and National Health Insurance Company (NHIC) are among the first steps taken by the MoH to achieve its long-term goal of restructuring the sector. We believe the establishment of NHIC is expected to lead to higher patient inflows for the private sector and potentially reduce the receivables cycle. For stocks under coverage, we beli...
MOUWASAT MEDICAL SVS. (SA), a company active in the Health Care Providers industry, sees its general evaluation downgraded to Neutral on account of a double requalification. The independent financial analyst theScreener just removed a fundamental star(s) for a 2 over 4-star rating. As such, market behaviour has also deteriorated and is evaluated as moderately risky. theScreener believes that the loss of a star(s) and the increased risk justifies the general evaluation downgrade, which passes to ...

We maintain our Overweight rating on Mouwasat with a revised PT of SAR149.1. The COVID-19 impact was significantly lower than our initial assessment, with operations normalizing in Q3 20 which we believe would enable Mouwasat to reach net income of SAR536mn in 2020f (+27.4% yoy). A healthy balance sheet, favourable client mix and strong expansion pipeline are the stock’s key strengths. The stock is trading at an attractive 2021f PE of 24.9x vs its peer group average of 25.7x, which we believ...
Al Hammadi reported a strong set of results in Q3 20, with net income increasing by +72.7% yoy (-6.5% qoq) to SAR37mn. This is higher than the NCBC and consensus estimates of SAR27mn and SAR30mn, respectively. The deviation was primarily due to higher than expected top-line of SAR249mn (+13.1% yoy) vs our estimates of SAR240mn. The stock price has surged more than 30% since our last update in July 2020 and exceeded our PT. We await Q3 20 financials to update our view and estimates on the com...
Mouwasat’s net income for Q3 20 stood at SAR161mn, higher than the NCBC and consensus estimates of SAR120mn and SAR115mn, respectively. The deviation is primarily on account of higher than expected revenues growth and margin expansion. Furthermore, lower financing cost and positive contribution from Khobar facility had a positive impact on the bottom line. Since our last update note in April 2020, the stock has surged c70% to exceed our PT. We await Q3 20 financials to update our view and es...
We maintain our Neutral rating on Al Hammadi, with a revised PT of SAR25.1. Driven by higher utilization at Al Nuzha, we expect the company to deliver stable five-year revenue and net income CAGR of 5.8% and 22.5%, respectively. However, we also expect margins to remain under pressure due to a lower contribution from the higher-margin pharma business. The increase in receivables remains a concern. Stable long-term outlook, despite an uncertain 2020f: Precautionary measures undertaken by the g...
We maintain our Overweight rating on Mouwasat with a revised PT of SAR95.1. Given its strong balance sheet, low leverage and diversified client base, we believe Mouwasat is well-positioned to weather the near-term headwinds arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe expansion projects in Dammam and Madinah, together with the ramp-up of Khobar operations, remain the key earning drivers. The stock is trading at an attractive 2021f PE of 19.5x, well below its the five-year average of 25.7x.
Balancing risk with growth; Mouwasat stands out, Dallah lags. MMS’s story continues to unfold, with Riyadh Hospital’s contribution on the rise, improving revenue/patient and mitigating pressures from higher overheads stemming from Khobar Hospital (scheduled for 3Q18). MMS trades on a 2018e P/E of 23x vs. peers’ 25x, while offering RoE 22% vs. peers’ 13%. We believe Dallah will witness negative FCF in 2018-19 and flattish 2018 EPS growth, on pre-operating costs related to Namar and Nakheel expans...
