Multiconsult (Buy, TP: NOK175.00) - Solid Q2, but soft comments
The Q2 results were in line with our forecast on adj. EPS, and the order backlog hit a new all-time high. However, the company moved to a more negative market outlook based on weakening building markets, and we have cut our EBIT margin forecasts as a result. With reduced EPS estimates and peer valuations, we have lowered our target price to NOK175 (190). However, given continued upside potential, we reiterate our BUY.Multiconsult ASA is a Norway-based company active in the planning and consulting business.
