Kongsberg Gruppen (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Coasting on structural tailwinds

Q3 EBITDA was a record high NOK1,360m, 22% above our estimate and 23% above consensus, driven by a sustained strong aftermarket in Kongsberg Maritime (KM), which recorded EBITDA 21% above our estimate. In addition, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace’s (KDA) EBITDA beat our estimate by 22%, driven by increased activity on long-term contracts and slightly higher margins than we had forecast. We have raised our 2023–2024e EPS by ~3% following the report. Due to our role in the potential listing of Kongsberg Digital, we have no recommendation or target price.
