PhotoCure (Buy, TP: NOK155.00) - Q1 set to mark low point of 2022

We believe Q1 will mark the low point of 2022, mainly due to the launch of a new blue light cystoscopy (BLC) by Karl Storz in the US limiting placements of new scopes in the quarter, and omicron hurting Cysview sales in early Q2. However, we expect a strong H2 as the launch beds-in and pandemic-related headwinds fade. We reiterate our BUY and NOK155 target price. The Q1 results are due at 07:30 CET on 11 May.
