NRC Group (Buy, TP: NOK15.00) - New CEO’s plan in focus

NRC’s Q1s tend to be its low season, due to the Nordic winter effects, and we expect a seasonal loss in EBIT (results due at c07:00 CET on 25 May). However, announced order intake has been strong, including the order termination and excluding the EUR344m light rail alliance contract in Finland. In conjunction with the Q1 results, NRC is due to host a CMD, where the new CEO will present the new group strategy. We continue to see strong upside potential on an EBIT margin recovery and reiterate our BUY and NOK15 target price.

Renovation rules now a reality

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) was approved on 12 April, requiring the modernisation of existing real estate in the EU, and will soon enter the Official Journal of the EU. Member states will have two years to incorporate the provisions into their national legislation. While Q1 is Nordic construction’s low season due to winter effects, we see some downside risk to Q1e consensus and longer-term to 2024–2026e EBIT on lower development gains. We recommend a stock-picking approach and keep a neutral sector stance.

Sinch (Buy, TP: SEK52.00) - New reporting structure implemented

With a new reporting structure, focus will be on headline numbers (the Q1 report is due at 07:30 CET on 7 May). We forecast 6% organic gross profit growth YOY, and we believe this is about in line with consensus. We reiterate our BUY and SEK52 target price.

Truecaller (Buy, TP: SEK46.00) - Facing easy comparables in Q1

We believe our Q1 revenue assumptions could prove conservative (results due at 07:30 CET on 7 May), but we are still 3% above consensus on sales and 5% above on EBITDA. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK46 (40) on higher peer multiples.

Safe Bulkers Minor model adjustments

We have updated our estimates, owing to the Q1 report and its updated contract backlog at healthy rates providing visibility on cash flows for the coming quarters. The market is still pricing Safe Bulkers at c50% of NAV, which screens at a noticeable discount to peers’ average P/NAV of ~0.8x. This, along with its contract portfolio, continues to provide relatively attractive exposure to the dry bulk segment, despite potential downside risk to demand on fundamental drivers in China (importer of ~50% of all volumes). We do not consider these changes to be material, and we have not changed our BU...
