In this report we assess the average material prices for 2Q21 and depict the impact of pricing trends on the financial performance of the relevant listed equities in Egypt. Prices of raw materials in the food and beverages sector continued to normalize in 2Q21, except for prices of SMP and WMP.

Most companies have an invent...
Not out of the woods, with a challenging year ahead. We hold our views unchanged, cutting our Egypt food TPs by c10%, on average, factoring: i) an average 35bps cut in 2021e GPM, reflecting a higher-than-expected spur in commodity prices, and ii) slower-than-anticipated recovery in cheese volumes, amid the higher magnitude of price hikes. Beyond 2021e, improved affordability should allow for better cost passing ability (+3-5% price hikes over 2022-25e), offsetting any weakness in EGP, as the pro...

A play on consumption normalisation. We cut our TP by 20% to EGP10.0/share, as the prolonged consumption recovery, amid COVID-19 implications, warrants a c26% trim to our 2020-24e EBIT forecasts. Nonetheless, we look for a recovery in revenue trends in 2021e, as economic activity approaches normalcy, with juice beating other segments, from a low base, and view the acceleration of the pace of conversion to packaged from loose milk as a medium-term story. This fuels 2020-22e EPS CAGR of 23%, along...
