Coming quarters order intake will steer next year
Management comments for Q4/20 were of a more careful tone given the escalated Coronavirus situation post Q3 but solid performance is nonetheless still expected. The near-term development really depends on demand recovery and order intake development during the coming quarters. Based on the current order backlog activity is seen to be higher next year compared to the same situation in 2019. We have slightly lowered our Q4 estimates for a more conservative approach given order intake uncertainty, now expecting 2020 revenue and EBIT of EUR 268.1m and 8.0m respectively. In 2021 we for now expect only a meager growth of 1.4% and EBIT of EUR 9.1m, with housing company demand recovery a potential key near-term uncertainty up until the housing company General Meeting season next spring.
BUY with a target price of EUR 10.0
Although sentiment appears slightly less positive the order backlog, Consti’s ability to adapt to lower volumes, and the long-term sector outlook along with an attractive valuation remain as beneficial factors. We retain our BUY-rating and TP of EUR 10.0.
