Ncc (Buy, TP: SEK125.00) - Q3e EPS cut on profit warning

In a profit warning issued on 26 September NCC said that it has not been able to pass on spiking energy costs in its asphalt segment, that it expects the Industry division to end 2022 at a close to a zero bottom line, and that it had some execution-linked project cost overruns on residential developments in Stockholm. We have cut our Q3e EPS by 74% and 2022e EPS by 36% ahead of the Q3 report (due at c07:00 CET on 1 November) and our target price to SEK125 (155), but still view the valuation as attractive and reiterate our BUY.
