NRC Group (Buy, TP: NOK30.00) - Swedish civil losses to blemish Q4
Last week NRC issued another profit warning, adding to its unwelcome track record; again, the culprit was Swedish civil construction (‘civil’). The company is to carry out a write-down and explore strategic options for the Swedish civil operation. However, EBITA margins in the rest of the group are continuing to recover, and NRC would have met its 2022 guidance if not for the Swedish civil loss. We reiterate our BUY and NOK30 target price, assuming Swedish civil is sold at a low price.NRC Group collects, processes and sells map data.
