<li>Our base case valuation of PhilEnergy is target price of 41,545 won per share, which represents 38% higher than the high end of the IPO price range of 30,000 won. </li>
<li>We believe a premium valuation multiple to the comps (20%) is appropriate due to PhilEnergy's higher sales growth rate and higher ROE than the comps in 2021 to 2023.</li>
<li>We estimate the company to generate sales of 312.5 billion won in 2023 (up 64.7% YoY) and 361.5 billion won (up 15.7% YoY) in 2024.</li>
