Koskisen: Valuation is lagging at a low level
We raise our target price for Koskisen to EUR 7.50 (previously EUR 6.75) and reiterate our Accumulate recommendation. Koskisen’s Q2 report was better than we expected and we raised our estimates clearly for the near future, as the Panel Industry continues to perform strongly and the Sawn Timber Industry has repeatedly achieved better results than the competitors. In the current situation, the share cannot be priced at particularly high multiples, but Koskisen’s valuation is very moderate, especially on EV basis. Thus, we consider the share’s risk/return ratio attractive. A driver for the valuation could be the positive earnings revision which we expect from the company in Q4.
