Royal Unibrew (Buy, TP: DKK800.00) - Headwinds before strong recovery
Royal Unibrew’s Q1 is likely to be another quarter negatively affected by Covid-19 restrictions (results due before 17:00 CET on 28 April), while we expect Q2 to bring a strong recovery. Our Q1e sales growth of -3% and flat EBIT growth YOY are above consensus. We continue to believe the guidance is too conservative, but as Q1 is seasonally weaker in terms profitability, it could be maintained. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to DKK800 (775).Royal Unibrew is a holding company based in Denmark.
