Christoffer Jennel has published a new company report following Q3. 
Although Eltel’s Q3 revenue fell below our forecast, profitability was well in line with our expectations. We consider Q3 profitability, despite lower revenue, a sign of higher resilience and further evidence that Eltel’s operational and commercial efficiency measures are yielding results. The continued strong development of new business areas (24% of Q3 contract value) also supports, in our opinion, future profitability improvement. In a turnaround company like Eltel, profitability development remains central to our investment case, as it is the most important driver of sustainable value creation. In our view, the company has taken clear and consistent steps in the right direction and is now better positioned to maintain and continue improving its profitability. In light of the Q3 report, however, we have revised our revenue forecasts downwards, but have largely kept margins unchanged. Following the post-earnings share price decline, we believe the current valuation offers good risk-adjusted return potential over the next 12 months. We therefore reiterate our Add recommendation and raise our target price to SEK 9.9 (previously SEK 9.7).
