EPS set to fall over time

After the media focus in Q3 soured Swedish market sentiment, we have cut our Q3e units sold. Also, the proposed new LTI amortisation rule, oversupply, and interest hikes make us concerned Swedish house prices will fall long-term, translating into less revenue and lower margins. We expect solid EBIT for Q3 (results due at 08:00CET on 26 October), and we are 5% above consensus as our forecast is based on ongoing production; however, we expect units sold (order intake) to disappoint. We have cut our target price to SEK200 (235) and reiterate our SELL recommendation.
