Monbat continues with outstanding performance this year with a sales growth of 45% as of Q3 2007 and net profit of BGN 12 million, i.e. more than double the net profit for Q3 2006. Despite the record lead prices Monbat's net profit margin rose to 14% as of Q3. Yet, the best news around Monbat are yet to come with the start of the battery recycling factories in Serbia and Romania which will further reduce the production costs. The company successfully implements its investment strategy to further increase its production capacity. Our DCF model shows a fair value of BGN 33 and a 12m target price of BGN 38.20.
