Bonava (Buy, TP: SEK115.00) - EBIT margins set to rise long-term

Bonava announced on 8 January that it will book a EUR15m non-recurring cost in Q4 relating to the closure of its Northern Finland (Oulu) operations, and impairment losses from sunk costs for two plots of land elsewhere in Finland. We view these as clean-up costs for exiting some of the weakest-performing markets in the Nordics, and expect margins in Bonava Nordic to improve once the loss-making divisions are closed. We reiterate our BUY, and have raised our target price to SEK115 (110) on our updated peer valuation.
