SAS (Buy, TP: SEK30.00) - October traffic statistics preview

We expect the October traffic statistics, due at 11:00 CET on 8 November, to have been negatively affected by a high level of cancellations and a continuation of the soft underlying yield trend seen in September, offset by positive FX effects. Despite our cautious stance on the October statistics, we reiterate our BUY recommendation and SEK30 target price, as we continue to find the valuation attractive, with the stock trading at a discount to the peer group, historical multiples, and our SOTP.
