Ncc (Buy, TP: SEK190.00) - Margin growth set to continue

During 2021, NCC saw a solid recovery in its EBIT margin and maintained its 2023 EPS target of SEK16. While we expect underlying EBIT margins to continue to recover in Q4, we are nonetheless below consensus ahead of the results (due at 07:30 CET on 2 February) as we estimate lower profit from asset sales in Property Development (PD). We expect NCC to be one of the names in the sector better positioned to benefit from the proposed new EU green renovation regulation. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK190 (176).
