We cut our target to NOK 22 (28) following lower estimates and downgrade Webstep to Hold (Buy). We think Webstep needs to prove execution on recruitment and less use of subcontractors before a re-pricing. With lower growth than peers, we consider its discount as fair. Webstep announced a DPS at 1.6 (flat y-y), and though 7% yield looks attractive, it implies a pay-out ratio at 118%. This is supported by our FCF estimate but assumes improved execution in 2020.
