Europris (Buy, TP: NOK40.00) - Set for strong Q4 and attractive DPS

We are positive ahead of Europris’s Q4 results (due at 07:00 CET on 1 February) and are slightly above consensus. We expect an attractive DPS of NOK2. Also, we believe the promised update on potential cost savings and growth opportunities enabled by the new warehouse (set for completion in H2 2019) could restore investor confidence. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and NOK40 target price.
