Skanska (Sell, TP: SEK155.00) - Plot the dots; we cut DPS forecast

Skanska presented a new NIBD adj. financial target at its CMD. It also indicated that working capital might shrink SEK5bn–6bn. It cut its DPS18 because the equity was below the ‘group equity requirement’. These two factors led us to cut our NIBD and DPS forecasts. Skanska stated it will not meet its construction EBIT margin target in 2019/20e and its project development target (ROCE) is “within reach, but tougher to reach”. We retain our SELL and our SEK155 target price.
