United Arab Emirates Financials : Specialized Finance 26 November 2013 Initiation of Coverage SELL Dubai Financial Market Primary ticker: DFM UH Hope alone 2 Currency: AED Dubai Financial Market (DFM UH) is one of the five main stock Stock Data exchanges in MENA, and the only listed stock exchange. We are Last price 2.19 initiating coverage of DFM with a Sell recommendation as our 12-month Last price date 24 Nov 2013 Target price 1.50 Target Price of AED 1.5 implies 32% downside. This is a result of our Target price established 26 Nov 2013 view on DFM’s valuation and the risks inherent in its ownership Upside/(downside), % -32% structure. 52 week price range 0.98 - 2.34 Market cap, USD / AED mn 4,767 / 17,511 Valuations price in all the good news. DFM’s current valuations price in EV, USD / AED mn 4,490 / 16,491 annual turnover surpassing 2005 peaks of AED 400bn, aided by the rising # shares outstanding, mn 7,996 market capitalisation of companies, increasing turnover velocity and a Free float 80% potential IPO pipeline of USD 17bn within the next 4-5 years. While the Benchmark Index (MXEF) 1,004.24 realisation of all these is probable, this is not the best entry point, in our view. Ignoring the corporate governance risk. The Borse Dubai ownership and Share price performance, 12-mo the precedent transactions reflect a degree of risk for minority investors which 2.5 160% cannot be completely offset by the benign regulatory environment. Related 140% party transactions structured to upstream cash without paying dividends to 2 120% minorities are not in line with best practices, in our view 100% 1.5 80% Economic resurgence extrapolated and also stock market vs. economy 60% correlation. While Dubai’s economic resurgence has been impressive, it is 1 40% based as much on exogenous factors. To extrapolate it on a six-year time Equities 0.5 20% horizon and assume that new IPOs would lead to stock market representing 0% the economic activity in Dubai/UAE is a far-fetched assumption in our view. 0 -20% Nov Jan Mar May Jul Sep MSCI is not the be all and end all. While an increase in turnover velocity is DFM UH, AED, lhs Relative to MSCI EM, %, rhs a valid assumption, we do not see it jumping beyond 100%, from 60% at present, while the market is pricing in higher levels. A comparison of turnover 1M 3M 12M velocity in markets included in MSCI EM index clearly identifies limitations. Price -4.8% 5% 122% Price relative -3% -4% 117% Little scope for revenue diversification. An often made consensus ADTV (USD mn) 9.60 13.91 11.55 assumption is that DFM could diversify its revenue sources to other sources such as data and custody, but what is often ignored is that DFM’s trading fees, at 12bp, are at a significant premium to exchanges that have developed Key financial highlights ancilliary revenue streams, such as LSE.
