NRC Group (Buy, TP: NOK35.00) - Lowered profitability guidance

NRC beat our forecasts and consensus on order intake and revenue in Q2, but missed on EBIT (low season). Management cut its EBITA guidance for 2020 and 2021 on overcapacity issues in Finland, only six months after the new CEO had presented them at the CMD. However, the company has kept its long-term target of a 7% EBITA margin in 2024. We reiterate our BUY, but have lowered our target price from NOK43 to NOK35.
