Elkem (Buy, TP: NOK43.00) - Strong outlook in focus

Elkem has already said its Q2 results would likely be stronger than Q1, so we expect focus to be on the outlook for H2 and 2019 (results due at 07:00 CET on 17 August). We have lifted our 2018–2019e EBITDA by 4–5% on Silicones, but we expect slightly lower earnings upstream due to lower Si prices. Trading at 9x our 2019e earnings, we reiterate our BUY and NOK43 target price.
