Orkla (Sell, TP: NOK78.00) - No sweet spot
Orkla is set to report its Q1 results at 07:00 CET on 25 April. We remain cautious ahead of the results, expecting figures marginally below consensus and as we find the valuation rich, given that the stock is trading at a premium to our updated SOTP valuation. We have downgraded to SELL (HOLD) and cut our target price to NOK78 (NOK82), to reflect slight estimate reductions.Orkla is a consumer goods company in the Nordic and Baltic regions.
