Subsea 7 (Hold, TP: NOK120.00) - All eyes on outlook comments

With our EBITDA forecast of USD304m, we are 9% ahead of consensus for Q3 (Due on 9 November). Except for the incremental backlog added to its PLSV fleet, order intake has been soft and we see book-to-bill of 0.4x. The main focus in the report is expected to be on any outlook comments for 2018: we are above consensus on both revenues (5%) and EBITDA (7%). Thus, putting valuation aside, we see a reasonable risk/reward ahead of the quarter. Reiterate HOLD recommendation and NOK120 target price.
