Clas Ohlson (Buy, TP: SEK190.00) - Sales momentum continues in Q2
The Q1 results were largely in line with our forecasts and consensus and the strong sales momentum continued into Q2, despite tough comparables. External factors remain a near-term headwind, but we still like the store growth and healthy inventory position ahead of the important autumn/winter season. We reiterate our BUY and SEK190 target price, as we continue to find the valuation attractive.Clas Ohlssen is a retailing company with sales in Sweden, Norway, Finland and the UK.
