AF Gruppen (Sell, TP: NOK135.00) - Solid Q4 beat, still too-high P/E

With a spiking EBIT margin in several segments, Q4 far outperformed our EPS estimate and consensus. The order backlog was the only soft spot, but as AF Gruppen won a major Civil order in February, we have raised our 2022–2024e revenue. AF Gruppen remains a top-tier company in EBIT margins, and has solid revenue and EBIT growth. However, on a rising share count and growing minority share of profits, its EPS have not kept up with its revenues and EBIT. We reiterate our SELL due to the high P/E versus peers, but we have raised our target price to SEK135 (130).
