We have a positive view of the Settlebank IPO. Our base case valuation of Settlebank suggests market cap of 550 billion won or implied target price of 59,400 won, which is 28% higher than the mid-point of the IPO range of 44,000 won to 49,000 won. This valuation is based on 45.9x its net profit of 12 billion won in 2018, which is 60% premium to the comps' average P/E of 28.7x in 2018. Our valuation of 550 billion won for the company suggests a P/E of 33.2x using our estimated net profit of 16.6 billion won in 2020. Settlebank's monopoly of 97% share in the Korean Simple Cash Payment market (간편현금결제) is the biggest strength of the company. We forecast Settlebank to generate sales of 70.7 billion won in 2019 (up 23.7% YoY) and 86.5 billion won in 2020 (up 22.3% YoY). The company's operating margin averaged 25.5% from 2015 to 2018 and we estimate the company to generate operating margins of 23% in 2019 and 22.5% in 2020.We are including Settlebank in our model portfolio.
