MTG (Buy, TP: SEK365.00) - Steady in most places

MTG posted underlying Q4 profit in line with our estimate (adj. EBIT growth of 19% YOY). We expect NENT to continue to shine (thanks to Viaplay) and to see improvements in MTGx, which is still the key earnings growth contributor although leaving a mixed 2018 behind versus our forecast. Upcoming CMDs in March should be key events to offer a clearer outlook, we believe. We have only fine-tuned our estimates and keep our BUY and SEK365 target price.
