Valuation and investment conclusion

Our DCF model returns a value of SEK 168 per share. To this, we add the potential

to create value from M&A of SEK 10 per share, an unchanged assumption from the

latest update. Consequently, we set a new target price of SEK 178.

The main change in our DCF model is the increase of EBITDA margins to 17.5%

from 15.9% in the period 2032 to the horizon forecast. The company targets

adjusted EBITDA margins of above 18% in the medium term, with the difference Rasmus Engberg Head of Swedish Equity Research

between adjusted and reported EBITDA margins currently at less than 0.5pp. +46 87 23 51 12

refinancing, partly offset by an increase in the cost of equity.
