Significant FX tailwinds support 2016E and 44 20 7888 2629 [email protected] 2017E EPS, masking assumed pricing pressure in the Argentina rebid Andy Grobler, CFA process, but our 2018E EPS fall by 15% as we factor in the impact of 44 20 7883 5943 significant fleet growth from the privately-owned global #2 player. [email protected] ■ Karpowership could displace AGK as the global #1: KPS expects to end 2016E with a fleet c.60% the size of AGK's Utility Power Solutions fleet and, on our analysis, has a current fleet + fleet under construction equivalent to 128% of AGK's historically highest return division. KPS' proven HFO solution already supplies base-load and 'mid-merit' electricity at prices lower than many EM thermal power plants. KPS is also pioneering floating LNG storage & regasification power plants and water desalination ships. KPS is able to target inland customers via interconnectors as well as coastal locations (where the majority of global GDP is generated). AGK's ambitious cost and technology innovation initiatives will continue to make the group a credible global contender in the space, especially in off-grid applications where both falling costs and improving technology (including batteries) continue to stimulate the adoption of distributed power generation. But as the industry matures, we see further scope for margins and returns to be eroded. ■ Catalysts: AGK is scheduled to publish a Q3 update on 16th November. ■ Valuation: AGK trades on 12.4x our revised 2017E EPS, though these estimates are vulnerable to rebid uncertainty, especially in Argentina. The stock trades below its 10Y median P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples, but our DCF and EV/IC analysis (50/50 weighted to derive our 740p target price) which captures future expected dual pressures on returns from increased competition and utility client procurement sophistication.
