Valmet (Sell, TP: EUR15.50) - Better outlook in pulp

We believe Valmet will upgrade its pulp outlook in connection with the Q2 results (due on 25 July at 12:00 EET). In our view, this is likely to support the share price in the short term as the pulp prospects have been in focus for some time now. However, we consider pulp project revenues to represent weak quality growth, due to related low margins and high execution risk, and keep our SELL recommendation albeit with a slightly higher target price of EUR15.5 (15).
