PhotoCure (Buy, TP: NOK87.00) - Headwinds set to ease
Q4 earnings were strong, with Hexvix/Cysview sales slightly above our estimate and operating expenses below, driving the strong earnings beat (EBITDA 106% above our estimate, 84% above consensus). The company still faces some headwinds from the loss of flex in the US, but this should be most visible in Q1, with the headwinds easing over the coming quarters. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to NOK87 (95).Photocure is a Norwegian based specialty pharmaceutical company.
