Bonava (Hold, TP: SEK23.00) - Weak Q1 guided

Bonava issued a Q1 profit warning on 20 April, due to building delays and a weak residential market. It now guides for Q1 revenues of SEK2.4bn and EBIT of SEK45m, with only 700 of the previously guided 940 units to be completed having been delivered to clients. We have cut our Q1 forecasts on the delays and build-up of unsold completed homes. We see a risk that balance sheet improvements might be needed if it does not sell the Norwegian operations (strategic review ongoing), which we believe could be a positive catalyst. However, the stock is already trading at a significant discount on P/B; we reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our price target to SEK23 (30).
