Multiconsult (Buy, TP: NOK155.00) - Low-season miss for the right reasons

Q3 was weaker than expected, with the company preparing for continued growth with 225 new hires needing onboarding and training. Given Q3 is also low-season, the percentage deviations were large, but low relative to annual group profit. We continue to expect growth, albeit slowing, but believe valuation remains attractive. Thus we reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK155 (170) on updated valuation.
