Nel (Sell, TP: NOK5.00) - Weak quarter, focus on new plant
The Q2 results are due on 26 August, before market open. Our sales and EBITDA estimates are below consensus, while our forecast for reported EPS is above as we expect the numbers to include a substantial non-realised gain on the Nikola holding. We expect the main focus to be on the progress of a new production plant at Herøya, relations with Nikola, and the H2 outlook. We reiterate our SELL and NOK5 target price.NEL ASA develops diagnostic tests for early detection of diseases.
