Selvaag Bolig (Hold, TP: NOK42.00) - Q2 beat on historical merits
The formal completed-contract-based IFRS figures for Q2 were better than expected, and EBIT beat our estimate and Infront consensus by 20%. However, the underlying value creation in units under construction provided in the supplemental reported segment (NGAAP) figures showed the EBITDA margin had fallen to its lowest level since 2013. Despite a high DPS near-term, we are concerned EBIT margins and thus EPS will fall longer-term under IFRS, as indicated by the segment figures. We reiterate our HOLD but have raised our target price to NOK42 (40).Selvaag Bolig ASA.
