    RenCap Emerging 

    Including Mediclinic, DO & CO; removing Yandex We make three changes to our RenCap Emerging  portfolio: we add Mediclinic and DO & CO, and remove

     Yandex. We are positive on Mediclinic’s proposed takeover of Al Noor (not covered) and listing on the LSE.

    We believe the acquisition would be earnings- and value-enhancing, increasing exposure to the fast-growing

    UAE healthcare space. We believe DO & CO adds a low-risk exposure to growth in Turkey’s airline passenger

    numbers, while also offering margin expansion through improving efficiency. We remove Yandex as our

    conviction in the name has softened in recent weeks, though we still consider it a BUY.

    Emerging  highlights our highest-conviction stock ideas in emerging markets. We monitor the portfolio and update it on a two-

    monthly basis. Our goal is for Emerging  to outperform a benchmark of MSCI EMEA.

    Figure 4: Emerging  – investment case

    Name Ticker Country CP* TP RatingUpside

    potentialCase

    BHP Billiton BLT LN S Africa GBp714 GBp1,050 BUY 47% 

    We like 1) BHP’s low-cost, long-life assets, which generate sector-leading margins, 2) amanagement team that delivers on productivity promises, 3) its low capital intensity with

    capex/EBITDA below 50% on our forecasts, 4) attractive dividend yield of 8%, and 5)balance sheet and cash-flow flexibility. We see the recent issues around the burst dam atSamarco Iron Ore as already having affected the price and have incorporated this into ourforecasts.

    Sberbank SBER RX Russia RUB102 RUB96 BUY -6% 

    Our positive view on Sberbank is based on the assumption of asset quality turning thecorner until YE15 and profitability doubling YoY to 17.4% in 2016, leaving Sberbank wellpositioned to capture any growth opportunities in the Russian market as well as providinga positive dividend outlook, in our view. Trading on only 4.1x 2016E P/E, on ourestimates, at a 40% discount to its five-year historical average, we think Sberbank isundervalued. Our ongoing caveat is that Sberbank often does not trade on its merits butrather as a proxy for the Russian market and economy.

    X5 FIVE LI Russia $19.6 $30.0 BUY 53% From 3Q15 we expect X5 to start seeing faster top-line growth than Magnit (BUY, TP$51.0, CP $39.8) and as the market gets more comfort that this is sustainable thediscount upon which its shares trade relative to Magnit should narrow, in our view.

    Mediclinic MDC SJ S Africa ZAc11,582 ZAc14,000 BUY 21% We are positive on Mediclinic's proposed takeover of Al Noor and LSE Listing. We believethis would be earnings- and value-enhancing and expect a re-rating in the share post theLondon listing and potential FTSE100 inclusion

    Tiger Brands TBS SJ S Africa ZAc31,172 ZAc39,000 BUY 25% We believe that Tiger Brands, given its current portfolio of strong brands and marketdominance, and with the correct management team in place at all levels of theorganisation would make it a formidable player in the FMCG space in SA.

    NEPI NEPI LN S Africa EUR10.1 EUR12.0 BUY 19% 

    NEPI offers exposure to the Romanian retail, office and industrial space. Blue-chiptenants, a significant development pipeline, low funding costs and high initial yields ondevelopments convert to high-teen distribution growth in EUR dividends, and NAVgrowth, in our view.

    Mr Price MRP SJ S Africa ZAc19,200 ZAc26,900 BUY 40% 

    We think the market has likely over-reacted to a weaker five-month sales update, with theshare price down 17% since then. We still see 15% HEPS growth in FY16E and a three-year HEPS CAGR of 18.1%. We also see its RoE at 58.5% in three years’ time. Webelieve this will be the highest in SA retail.

    TurkishAirlines

    THYAO TI Turkey TRY7.3 TRY10.6 BUY 46% 

    The bulk of Turkish Airlines’ revenue is FX and international traffic driven providing anatural hedge against worsening macro. Turkish Airlines is short lira which helps itsmargins in a weakening lira environment. More stable yields and lowly hedged fuelpurchases are its other positives.

    AFK Sistema SSA LI Russia $6.6 $10.0 BUY 53% 

    We believe Sistema offers the best exposure to the telecom sector in Russia ( it owns53.5% of MTS) and other fast-growing assets. The Detsky Mir stake transaction, pulp &paper export exposure, SSTL resolution, RTI import substitution boon are positivecatalysts for the stock, in our view.

    Bashneft BANE RX Russia RUB2,012 RUB2,600 BUY 29% 

    We believe there is a significant disconnect between Bashneft's share price performance(down -55% since the start of 2014 vs -47% sector average) and operational deliveries(fastest volume growth over 10%, 10% dividend yield and 20% FCF yield). We viewpotential market concerns over recent ownership changes as exaggerated and expectthis to be addressed during the strategy update later this year.

    Globaltrans GLTR LI Russia $4.7 $6.0 BUY 28% 

    We think Globaltrans’ valuation discounts the status quo in the Russian rail industry, whilewe think, finally, there are conditions leading to a large net reduction of railcars in thesystem, clearing the system of excess supply and a slow restoration of prices. We viewGlobaltrans as the prime beneficiary of these changes.

    DO & CO DOC AV Turkey EUR92.7 EUR96.6 BUY 4%

    DO & CO continues to grow organically and through winning more tenders. We view thecompany as an oil price and yield riskless play on growth in airline passenger numbers,especially those of THYAO. We believe improved efficiency will drive margin expansionand we project 20%+ EPS growth over the next few years.

    InterRAO IRAO RX Russia RUB1.1 RUB2.3 BUY 107%

    We think InterRAO is one of the highest profitability growth stories in Russia, transformingthe company from RUB23bn EBITDA in 2014 to what we forecast to be RUB90bnEBITDA in 2016. Coupled with deteriorating capex (should moderate to RUB12bn by2017), FCF in 2015 should stand at 40%, and 70% in 2017, on our numbers. Even ifshareholders receive only 25% pay-out, that will still translate into one of the highestdividend yields on the street.

    JuhaynaFood

    JUFO EY Egypt EGP7.7 EGP10.6 BUY 38%

    The recent operational turnaround has yielded improved margins and the JV with Arla willbe a significant revenue driver going forward. In light of returning political stability, FDI ispicking up and, given the valuation discount to GCC peers, we wouldn’t rule out thecompany becoming a potential acquisition target. The stock trades at a ~20% discount toits global peers, on our estimates.

    IDH Corp IDHC LN Egypt $4.9 $6.9 BUY 41%

    IDH Corp has high visibility of 20% EBITDA CAGR (2014-2018E) given that 1) brandloyalty and market leadership drives footfall, 2) economies of scale defends high margins,3) small-ticket ($5), high-volume (22mn/year) growth does not rely on rising per capitaspend. Trades at too steep a discount to GCC healthcare, in our view.

    Investment ratings

    Investment ratings may be determined by the following standard ranges: Buy (expected total return of 15% or more); Hold (expected total return of 0-15%); and Sell (expectednegative total return). Standard ranges do not always apply to emerging markets securities and ratings may be assigned on the basis of the research analyst’s knowledge of thesecurities.

    Investment ratings are a function of the research analyst’s expectation of total return on equity (forecast price appreciation and dividend yield within the next 12 months, un lessstated otherwise in the report). Investment ratings are determined at the time of initiation of coverage of an issuer of equi ty securities or a change in target price of any of theissuer’s equity securities. At other times, the expected total returns may fall outside of the range used at the time of setting a rating because of price movement and/or volatility.Such interim deviations will be permitted but will be subject to review by Renaissance Capital’s Research Management. 

    Where the relevant issuer has a significant material event with further information pending or to be announced, it may be necessary to temporarily place the investment rating

    Under Review. This does not revise the previously published rating, but indicates that the analyst is actively reviewing the investment rating or waiting for sufficient informationto re-evaluate the analyst’s expectation of total return on equity.

    Where coverage of the relevant issuer is due to be maintained by a new analyst, on a temporary basis the relevant issuer will be rated as Coverage in Transition. Previouslypublished investment ratings should not be relied upon as they may not reflect the new analysts’ current expectations of total return. While rated as Coverage in Transition,Renaissance Capital may not always be able to keep you informed of events or provide background information relating to the issuer.

    If issuing of research is restricted due to legal, regulatory or contractual obligations publishing investment ratings will be Restricted. Previously published investment ratingsshould not be relied upon as they may no longer reflect the analysts’ current expectations of total return. While restricted, the analyst may not always be able to keep youinformed of events or provide background information relating to the issuer.

    Where Renaissance Capital has neither reviewed nor revised its investment ratings on the relevant issuer for a period of 180 calendar days, coverage shall be discontinued.

    Where Renaissance Capital has not provided coverage of an issuer for a period of 365 calendar days, coverage shall be discontinued.

    Where Renaissance Capital has not expressed a commitment to provide continuous coverage and/or an expectation of total return, to keep you informed, analysts may preparereports covering significant events or background information without an investment rating (Not Covered).

    Your decision to buy or sell a secur ity should be based upon your personal investment objectives and should be made only after evaluating the security’s expected performanceand risk.

    Renaissance Capital reserves the right to update or amend its investment ratings in any way and at any time it determines.
