Norwegian Air Shuttle (Sell, TP: NOK170.00) - Short-term pain for long-term gain

We remain cautious on Norwegian Air Shuttle ahead of the Q4 results (due at 07:00 CET on 15 February) as we expect weak results and as we expect a continued negative near-term earnings momentum amid the recent spike in fuel prices. We see this overshadowing the positive trend in underlying unit costs excluding fuel and an expected reduction to the 2018 capex guidance reflecting revised A320neo deliveries. We keep our NOK170 target price and SELL recommendation.
