Tougher comparisons in Q3e

We believe strong demand has continued in the Nordics, but due to tougher comparisons and softer retail demand in the UK, we expect organic growth of only 2% YOY in Q3 (H1e: 5%, consensus: 2%). We expect a 2017–2019 EBIT CAGR of 7%, and see upside potential from acquisitions and continued margin expansion. We reiterate our BUY recommendation, but have cut our target price to SEK110 (115), mainly on valuation. The Q3 results are due on 27 October.
