YIT (Hold, TP: EUR5.00) - Valuation support after sell-off

The stock looks fairly valued to us following the c18% correction in the shares YTD and c24% in the past three months, and for the first time since initiating coverage about five years ago, we have upgraded YIT to HOLD (SELL). However, we have lowered our target price to EUR5 (5.8) on updated forecasts. We remain below consensus on 2019–2020e EPS, reflecting our lower margin forecasts, and on Q2e earnings (results due on 26 July).
