SAS (Buy, TP: SEK30.00) - Back on the radar

Back on the radar Having cut gross costs by SEK5bn+ and strengthened its balance sheet by SEK10bn over the past five years, we believe SAS is well placed to make the most of its market-leading position in the Nordics. This is supported by its recent order for 50 Airbus A320neos, allowing for further cost reductions through a uniform fleet and flexible growth path. We initiate coverage with a BUY and SEK30 target price.
