Ncc (Buy, TP: SEK140.00) - Margin-driven beat in Q2

The Q2 results beat our estimates and Infront consensus across the board, fuelled by a faster EBIT margin recovery than expected. Management reiterated its SEK16 EPS target for 2023, while adding that it could take longer to reach. Our 2023–2025 EPS forecasts (and consensus) remain well below SEK16; however, we find the underlying margin trend and valuation attractive and reiterate our BUY, while we have raised our target price to SEK140 (130) after increasing our forecasts.
