Norsk Hydro (Hold, TP: NOK55.00) - Still fairly valued

The market responded to what we consider a fairly in-line Q1 report by sending Norsk Hydro down 3%. We have left our 2022–2023e EPS broadly unchanged. Strong Extruded Solutions results were offset by a weaker NOK, while the Rolled Products segment was moved to discontinued operations. We still expect aluminium prices to converge towards USD2,100/t, justified by its cost of production, with coal price futures of now just below RMB700/t. These levels suggest run-rate EPS of around NOK4.5, justifying the current share price of around NOK55. We reiterate our HOLD and NOK55 target price
