Borregaard (Buy, TP: NOK85.00) - Finally – a boring quarter

Borregaard reported Q4 results in line with consensus, proposed stronger than expected DPS but guided slightly softer in SC. We consider our investment case on track, with cost headwinds turning to tailwinds and the Florida projects moving towards cash-flow breakeven. We have lowered our 2019–2020e EBITA by 3% but reiterate our BUY and NOK85 target price.
