Aspo: Performance was wild, but future is worrisome
On Wednesday, Aspo published a Q3 result that was stronger than we expected. We have raised our earnings estimates for the next few years, as the report improved visibility of Telko's profitability level adjusted for Russian operations. Moreover, completed acquisitions will increase earnings in the next few years. Although the valuation is low in absolute terms, we are still cautious especially due to the significant uncertainty related to ESL’s performance.
