Jef eqty analyst=BUY rating w/$30 target (using 30x ’15 P/E). It’s Xueersi brand is No1 in China.We think credit is better than 4.85y YY which backs out L+964 (40%) plus XRS is s/dated.We’d assume L+750 for 3y.ADV=340k, no leaps,1y100d /200d=50/44. Given low ADV, we’d assume 35% (brw -.5). Theo=102.1/103.8/105.5. Lots of theo value in over issued Chinternet/China so has little edge over SFUN/VIPS/EJ which are arguably better.
