Telenor (Sell, TP: NOK142.00) - Mixed set of results
While Telenor reported decent Q1 headline results adjusted for a one-off VAT provision in Norway, slightly above consensus and our estimates, the FCF beat was seemingly driven by lower-quality transitory tailwinds, leaving us still uncertain about its ability to cover its dividends with underlying FCF before M&A this year and in 2026. Thus, given our view of a stretched company and sector valuation, we reiterate our SELL, while we have raised our target price to NOK142 (140).Telenor is a holding company.
