Sats (Hold, TP: NOK7.00) - New training programme needed

We expect Q3 to be another loss-making quarter for SATS, with memberships and yields too low to offset a growing cost base (results due at 07:00 CET on 28 October). We believe SATS needs to convince investors at the CMD (scheduled for the same day) that it can navigate the current challenging market, and that it needs to focus more on profitability than growth. We have cut our target price to NOK7 (10) on negative estimate revisions, but have upgraded the stock to HOLD (SELL) as we find the risk/reward improved following the c45% share price drop in the past three months.
