Skanska (Buy, TP: SEK215.00) - Risks confirmed, upside returns
Risks confirmed, upside returns While the Q1 results beat our forecasts, we believe the -10% share-price reaction reflected the obvious – interest rates and building-cost inflation are on the rise, which will likely affect its profits. This was the reason for our below-consensus forecasts. In our view, the risks have been well-addressed by the company and are now well reflected in the share price. We view the valuation as attractive, and have upgraded to BUY (HOLD), but have cut our target price to SEK215 (220).Skanska is a project development and construction group, concentrated on selected home markets in the Nordic region, European countries and in the Americas.
