Ncc (Hold, TP: SEK160.00) - Not just yet

With the recent profit warning and guidance, we found few surprises in the Q4 results. We see potential upside relative to the valuation versus peers, as we believe NCC has favourable exposure. However, we remain cautious due to our fear of weaker construction markets during 2018, which, in our view, have not been priced in yet. We maintain our HOLD recommendation, but have lowered our target price to SEK160 (166).
