Momentum Group (Buy, TP: SEK120.00) - Operating momentum improving

The operational improvement case for Momentum Group is accelerating in our view, given the recent Q2 report, and a strengthening Nordic industrial demand outlook. With efficiencies materialising earlier than expected, we have raised our 2017/18–2018/19e EPS by 11–12%, supporting our investment case, and in turn our target price to SEK120 (105), with further potential upside if the group delivers on targets and redeploys its ‘financial muscle’. Our recommendation remains BUY.
