AF Gruppen (Sell, TP: NOK122.00) - Q3: underlying miss

Although reported Q3 EBIT was in line with consensus, this included a NOK39m impact from IFRS. Adjusted for this, the underlying EBIT, much like revenues, fell short of our forecast and consensus. However, order backlog and order intake beat our estimates. While the company highlighted its significant revenue and EBIT growth, we note that EPS growth did not match these levels due to the increased share count. Based on P/E valuations, we continue to find the stock overvalued versus peers. We reiterate our SELL but have increased our target price to NOK122 (120).
