Novozymes (Sell, TP: DKK230.00) - Awaiting the strategy review

We forecast Q1 organic growth of -1.0% (results due at 08:00 CET on 24 April), as key divisions including Household Care and Agriculture & Feed continue to struggle and are set for a back-end loaded 2019. We expect an EBIT margin of 28.4% (-0.5%-points YOY). The changes to our 2019 forecasts reflect positive FX and higher deferred income from the terminated Bayer deal. We reiterate our SELL and DKK230 target price.
