Humana (Buy, TP: SEK69.00) - Lower point to start 2018 recovery

2017 has been a transition year for Humana and after meeting company management, we have adjusted the ramp-up profile somewhat. We still expect a strong reversal of trends in 2018, but we have left our EPS forecast down 6–9% for 2017–2019e. With a strong FCF generation case evolving from 2018, we see an attractive turnaround opportunity, and reiterate our BUY recommendation with a new target price of SEK69 (74).
