Scatec Solar (Hold, TP: NOK125.00) - Negative DPS surprise ahead

Following the recent rally we calculate that Scatec Solar’s shares reflect 1.6GW of annual growth – at the high end of its targeted IRR range of 12–14%. We consider this fair and have downgraded to HOLD (BUY) but raised our target price to NOK125 (120). We continue to believe the company is well-positioned for increasing solar demand but view our 2019 DPS forecast (15% below consensus) as a negative for Q4e.
