SUMMARY

VASRO has initiated equity research coverage ofBaladna Q.P.S.C.with aBUY recommendationand a target price ofQAR 2.43 per share. Compared with the QAR 1.21 ex-rights reference price, the valuation implies potential upside of 100.8%.
The investment case is based on the view that Baladna is no longer adequately described as a domestic dairy producer. The company now combines four distinct value pools: its high-margin Qatar operations, a substantial listed investment portfolio, the large-scale Algeria project and an earlier-stage expansion platform in Syria.
Baladna’s domestic business remains the foundation of the valuation. The company operates a vertically integrated model covering farming, herd management, processing, packaging, cold-chain distribution and customer delivery. This structure supports category leadership and margins materially above those of regional dairy peers.
