Subsea 7 (Hold, TP: NOK120.00) - Hard to get excited

Adjusted for the mismatch of revenue and cost in the renewables segment, we still consider Subsea 7’s Q4 report to be soft as underlying margin in the SURF segment was only around c15%. With margin pressure on new orders, we think 2019 and beyond will be challenging and that consensus is too optimistic on earnings recovery. At the same time current valuation is only just above historical average making us maintain our HOLD rating with NOK 120 target price.
