AF Gruppen (Sell, TP: NOK135.00) - DPS more than EPS

AFG proposed an H1 2021 DPS of NOK6.5, thus it appears to be continuing with dividends above EPS, enabled by the ever-increasing share count. While its Q4 report was even better than expected, the order backlog was not. We believe its P/E valuation seems to underestimate the construction risks and is too high versus peers. However, as the attractive dividend yield is seemingly funded by share issues, we still prefer to use P/E. We reiterate our SELL, but have raised our target price to NOK135 (132).
