Valmet (Sell, TP: EUR18.00) - Improved outlook priced in

We are 3% below consensus on Q3e EBITA (results due at 12:00 EET on 23 October). We believe the Pulp and Energy division will replace board and tissue as the primary sales growth driver in 2019–2020 – the weakest quality growth for Valmet. While we have lifted our target price to EUR18 (16.5) due to the improved outlook for pulp and marine scrubbers, in our view the all-time high valuation multiples more than capture the improved outlook for Pulp and Energy, and we reiterate SELL.
