Ncc (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Tax-driven EPS beat

Q4 EPS was above our forecast and Infront consensus despite falling short on EBIT, as tax reversals from divestments lifted the bottom line. EBIT suffered from higher-than-expected losses in “Other and elimination”, partially driven by IT projects. Following a marginally higher than expected group-level order backlog, and comments on the seasonally high “Other and elimination”, we have raised our 2023–2026e EPS by a c1–3%. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK150 (140).
