AF Gruppen (Sell, TP: NOK108.00) - Unwarranted premium to peers

We have cut our revenue forecasts in the face of a deepening residential slowdown, and have reduced our Building division EBIT forecasts on our expectation of more competitive construction markets. We are in line with consensus for Q4e (results due at 07:00 CET on 16 February), having reduced our near-term forecasts based on order backlog data. Given our new forecasts and updated peer valuations, we have lowered our target price to NOK108 (110); with the P/E premium to peers, we reiterate our SELL recommendation.
