The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially. As a result, high-dividend exposure is no longer a broad regional trade: the most compelling opportunities are now concentrated. However, the ...

We maintain our BUY on Kazatomprom (KAP), with an updated price target (PT) of USD 63.8 (from USD 61.6), offering upside of 18.1%. Uranium prices have fallen from triple figures, but remain close to USD 70/lb, a level that we consider sustainable. Supply has increased, but is still below demand. We expect production in 2026E to remain below capacity, but 2027E and 2028E should bring big increases in volumes. KAP is experiencing inflationary pressures on costs, but should moderate, with higher vo...
