Value on the road to becoming a mobility champion; initiating at Overweight

aims to deliver >1,800 public EV charging sockets. We believe EV charging
may offer high margins for the company.
Mobility transformation not fully reflected in valuation; high cash
conversion. Emirates Mobility offers an attractive valuation, in our view.
It trades on c.5x EV/EBITDA FY26E, well below the average for companies
within the broader mobility value chain, yet offers high EBITDA margin, on
average c.55% FY26-FY30E, and ROE at c.22%. We believe the company’s
mobility transformation from prudent acquisitions and enhanced business
opportunities and synergies within its core driving education business are
not fully reflected in the valuation.
Robust dividend outlook; balance sheet flexibility. Emirates Mobility has
an attractive dividend policy, in our view, and has gradually increased
dividend payout historically, with the company suggesting 20 fils/sh may
be the new minimum dividend level. The company’s dividend yield is c.7%
FY26E, which is broadly around the average for companies listed in Abu
Dhabi and global mobility related peers. The company has a net cash
balance sheet that allows it to focus on organic and inorganic growth and
returns maximisation.
Valuation. Our price target is based on a EV/EBITDA based valuation
multiple approach for Emirates Mobility relative to global/Middle East
peers. We use a 10x EV/EBITDA multiple, which derives a price target of
AED5.0/sh. We have also tested our valuation using a DCF methodology,
which provides a similar valuation. The company trades at the low range
relative to regional and global peers on an EV/EBITDA basis, partly owing to
share liquidity, limited direct comparables and its mobility transformation
