Orkla (Buy, TP: NOK100.00) - Jotun paints a brighter picture
We consider this a weak report, including adj. EBIT slightly below expectations and EBIT badly hit by one-offs, while net profit was saved by a strong performance from Jotun. We expect only minor negative revisions to consensus 2021 EBIT and EPS, reflecting the slightly weaker performance and guidance for increased market spend. A slight negative share price reaction is warranted.Orkla is a consumer goods company in the Nordic and Baltic regions.
