Skanska (Sell, TP: SEK150.00) - Transaction markets are not well

We expect Covid-19 to lead to reduced volumes in both the commercial real estate transaction market – hitting Property Development (PD) profits – and new residential sales – hitting Residential Development (RD) profits. Volumes in construction will likely also fall. However, as Q1 saw a strong start with a mild winter, only ending with Covid-19 lockdowns, we do not expect the quarter, which is also usually a low season, to be affected significantly. Nevertheless, we have reduced our 20e-22e forecasts, and cut our target price to SEK150 (200). We reiterate our SELL.
