Scatec ASA (Hold, TP: NOK114.00) - Clouds on the horizon
Although Scatec has developed into an energy producer with strong references in emerging markets, we see clouds on the horizon for the equity story owing to industry-wide issues. We expect growth to be hampered by lengthy government approval processes, and its profitability to be lowered by higher inflation and intensified competition. Given this and higher interest rates hurting its cash flow, we reiterate our HOLD but have cut our target price to NOK114 (135) following a change of analyst.Scatec Solar ASA is a Norway-based integrated independent solar power producer.
