Concorde Capital: compared to its peers Centrenergo’s 6% EBITDA margin in 3Q10 looks small. Nevertheless, we confirm our projections for 2010E EBITDA of USD 89.3 mln (a margin of 10%) since fourth quarter is the high-load season for electricity generating companies, which results in higher profits.
