Ncc (Buy, TP: SEK125.00) - Mixed Q4

Driven by a large asset disposal gain in the P.D. division, headline EBIT was in line with our estimate but 13% above Infront consensus, despite EBIT in both Building divisions missing our estimates and consensus. A higher tax charge than forecast left Q4 EPS 10% below our estimate (but still 10% above consensus). Given disappointing underlying EBIT margins, we have cut our 2023e EPS by 8% and 2024e by c6%, and in turn our target price to SEK125 (130). However, with an attractive valuation, we reiterate our BUY.
