Amounts: USD (converted) · As reported
Converted modes use NBK / ECB-linked rates: balance sheet date for BS items, period average for P&L and cash flow (see filing row evidence). As reported keeps each row in its filing currency.

Financial results

Monetary columns are in B RUB, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Profit and cash

Worth a look
In a typical year of 2021–2025 operating cash flow came to 3.96x of reported net profit; after capex, 1.79x. Loss years (2025) are left out of the ratio.

Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

Spending: Продовольственные магазины (SberIndex) — leading indicator

SberIndex — weekly nominal Russian consumer-spending growth (% YoY) from aggregated Sber-card data. The “Продовольственные магазины” category tracks consumer demand in near-real-time and is a leading signal for Magnit. The level is closer to turnover than to revenue, so the spread to the company's own growth is shown below.

Quality / corporate governance

Potential discount −30% (factor 0.70)

This company's ranking potential is scaled down by a quality/governance factor from the signals below — de-prioritising 'cheap but problematic' names.

Fundamental value creation

Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap

Value created per year: -70.2%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-06-30 vs 2025-06-30)
= (171 758 − 151 075) × 1.86
0
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (123 333 + 518 025) ÷ 320 323
2.0x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 6.5) ÷ 2
= (2.0 + 6.5) ÷ 2
4.3x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= -87 425 + 804 + 0 − 0
-86 621
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (0 × 4.3 + -86 621) ÷ 123 333
-70.2%

Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.

Caveats:

  • half-year basis (semi-annual reporter)
  • growth zeroed: debt-funded EBITDA growth but net profit is now a LOSS while net debt rose (FY net 44334->-31576)

Revenue growth & acceleration

Growth decelerating ▼
Last-year revenue growth +15% vs +20% the year before — a -4.3 pp move. 3-year CAGR +14%.
revenue growth by year: 2023 +8% · 2024 +20% · 2025 +15%
The growth-acceleration signal behind the GARP+acceleration strategy — it favours companies whose revenue growth is speeding up and flags those slowing down (the second derivative of growth).

Group average 3.7x as traded, 3.2x adjusted; against the average this company is at a 38% discount.

At the adjusted group median the market cap would be +207% versus today.

The gap and the implied upside are measured against the median: one richly priced peer moves an average, not a median. The market adjustment uses our coverage medians (US 20.9x, Russia 3.7x, South Africa 5.0x, Kazakhstan 4.7x, India 18.8x, Indonesia 5.1x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does. Peer multiples come from the nightly rebuild of 2026-10-22; the company's own is live.

Dividend potential

Dividends suspended (~2.2 yr without a payout)

The company has not paid a dividend for over 18 months — profit is going to capex or deleveraging (e.g. Nornickel, NLMK, RusHydro, FSK). The forecast payout is zeroed until distributions resume; profit and cash flow may still be healthy.

Three-year model and IRR withheld

The number is withheld — here is why

Across 6 historical measurements the profit forecast came to a median 1.76 of actual — the model consistently overstates this name's profit. Dividends and IRR run off profit; the number is withheld

The path below is computed and shown in full, so you can see what the model rests on and where it breaks. Only the headline price and upside are hidden — those are what we do not trust.

Checks and caveats
  • ✗ Across 6 historical measurements the profit forecast came to a median 1.76 of actual — the model consistently overstates this name's profit. Dividends and IRR run off profit; the number is withheld
  • ⚠ Growth rests on a single source (momentum)
  • ⚠ Year-3 margin 8% is below the worst year on record (9%), though inside tolerance
  • ⚠ IRR -50% — extreme; read the assumptions, not the number
  • ⚠ Thin equity: it is a small slice of EV, a 10% EBITDA move shifts the valuation by roughly 508%
  • ⚠ The two valuations of the same cash flow differ 0.0x: exit multiple 216 vs discounted cash flow 7,957 — the target rests on the multiple assumption rather than on the flow; in the DCF 78% of value sits in the terminal value
  • ⚠ The growth is bought, not earned: for every rouble of EBITDA added over three years, net debt grew by 5.7 roubles. The model carries the historical EBITDA pace forward but only funds maintenance capex — acquisitions are not in the outflows. If growth keeps costing the same, free cash flow and dividends here are overstated
  • ⚠ Governance: quality multiplier 0.70 (flags: curated). No discount is applied to the exit multiple — it is the name's own market multiple and the market already prices this risk in
  • ⚠ Net debt grows for reasons beyond a cash shortfall: over 5 years it added 3.0% of revenue a year on top of cash flow and dividends (range +1.9…+7.0%) — new leases, acquisitions, revaluation. That addition is carried in the forecast; without it the model would show deleveraging where debt keeps rising
  • ⚠ Less reaches actual cash than the formula implies: over 3 reported years free cash flow came to 0.60 of 'EBITDA less capex, interest and tax'. The gap is lease principal (IFRS 16 keeps it out of EBITDA but it still has to be paid) and working capital. The forecast cash flow is scaled by this factor — otherwise debt repayment and dividends come out of cash the company never has
  • ⚠ Leverage at entry: the market cap is 19% of enterprise value, so a move in business value is multiplied roughly 5.2x in the shares. It cuts both ways: the IRR here is bought with debt, not with business quality
  • ✓ Revenue CAGR +9%
  • ✓ Year-3 net debt/EBITDA 2.0x
  • ✓ Base is fresh: report 4 months old
  • ✓ Historical check (9 observations): median EBITDA miss 1.1 pp of margin, within ±5 pp in 100% of cases, relative error 12% at bias 1.09x, revenue 7%

A forecast, not investment advice. Related-market prices are held at today's level, so the model answers what the business earns and is worth if markets stay here — it does not predict prices.
