NRC Group (Hold, TP: NOK17.00) - Heading in right direction, but no hard evidence yet

As expected, NRC’s Q2 bottom line was around zero, and it maintained its full-year guidance. Management commented on the webcast that operations are going in the right direction, and reiterated its long-term targets. However, NRC remains a turnaround case, and in our view EBITA margins are key to this, but we believe with three profit warnings in the past three years, the next potential share price catalyst hinges on proof of higher margins. We reiterate our HOLD and NOK17 target price.
