MHPS integration on track
Konecranes’ Q3 EBITA was in line with consensus and 3% below our estimate. Port Solutions had strong order intake and Industrial Equipment profitability exceeded our forecast while Services sales disappointed. Integration of MHPS continues to gain pace and the company raised its 2017e synergy savings. We expect Konecranes to announce new financial targets ahead of the December CMD, which is likely to be a positive trigger for the shares. We have lifted our target price to EUR47 (46) and keep our BUY recommendation.Konecranes reports two business areas, Service and Equipment, as its primary business segments. Co.'s Service business area provides maintenance and modernization services for all types and brands of industrial cranes, lifting equipment, and machine tools.
