What to do with the share Share price (SEK) 15/5/2026 69.74

Target price 75.00We think the upside is more limited now after the strong run in the share

recently (+9% L1M, +27% L3M). However, the main triggers underpinning

our BUY case have not played out yet, which include a return to earnings MCap (SEKm) 15,960

Fiscal Q4 numbers (calendar Q1) simon.jonsson@abgsc.se, +46 8 566 286 89

We forecast SEK 3,584m sales and SEK 244m adj. EBIT, 6% and 9%

below MFN consensus, respectively. That said, Q4 will be a smaller

quarter, and is part of a transitional period until Q2-Q4 next fiscal

year where we see strong earnings growth and where we are above

consensus. Key for the Q4 numbers will be in-line delivery, and strong

cash conversion (should be ~100% FCF/adj. EBIT conversion), supporting

a net cash position of ~SEK 3.0bn.
