Outperform. Dec’24 TP: PLN25.0 With this report we are initiating issuing recommendations for Newag with the Outperform rating and the Dec’24 target price set at PLN25.0. Our baseline scenario assumes that the company / rolling stock manufacturing industry is already bottoming out the local downturn in 2022. In the coming years, we expect a gradual evolution of the Newag's revenue mix towards a greater share of sales of new products with a relatively stable (in nominal terms) contribution of revenues allocated to the rolling stock modernization and repair segment.
We see significant space for the recovery in operational margins thanks to more favourable trends of the materials and energy prices, which combined represent the bulk of costs. Finally, we emphasize that the company is a regular dividend and that its valuation ratios are not demanding (2023P P/E 10.7x and EV/2023P EBITDA 6.8x).
