Evolution Gaming (Buy, TP: SEK670.00) - Casino crew, take your seats

Q4 coming in line with consensus (~100% EPS growth) was not enough. Costs are on the rise in H1 2018e due to expansion and aggressive recruitment to meet strong demand for new live casino tables; and revenue growth should slow to 33% in 2018e. We expect the Evolution shares to take off again once we see signs of a payoff from these investments. We leave our estimates fairly unchanged, keep our SEK670 target price and have upgraded our recommendation to BUY (HOLD).
