Alumina rally offsets cost inflation
We consider Q3 on the soft side due to cost inflation and the company guided for higher costs going forward. This appears, however, offset by the tightness in the alumina market due to the winter closures, leading us to raise our 2018e EBIT by 15% (limited for 2019–2020e). We reiterate our HOLD recommendation on neutral risk/reward but have raised our target price to NOK65 (60).Norsk Hydro is an aluminium group based in Norway.
