Change takes time Price performance

Why this report?

After the share price has declined c.80% in the past 5 years, Kinnevik is

replacing its management and pivoting its strategic direction towards a more

concentrated portfolio with a higher share of cash generating assets, and a

leaner investment organisation. It's good that Kinnevik finally changes

course, but change takes time and short-term performance will continue to

be driven by the existing portfolio. We argue the risk/reward near-term is

balanced with the portfolio largely affected by public valuation multiples,

and we await concrete improvements. We transfer coverage to a new analyst

and reduce our target price to SEK58 (112), lowering our rating to Hold (Buy).
