Aker Solutions (Buy, TP: NOK60.00) - Particularly good time to step in

With limited orders in H1 and low backlog coverage for 2020, the stock has materially trailed peers YTD. We estimate it is trading at a ~10% EV/EBITDA discount to Subsea 7 (~40–50% premium historically), but with prospects for several important contracts, we see the underperformance reversing. Also, after hefty investment in recent years, on current pricing we see 10–15% cash flow yields from 2020, better than most oil service names we cover. We keep our BUY and NOK60 target price.
