Bergman & Beving (Hold, TP: SEK330.00) - Solid Q3 given the circumstan...

The Q3 results were hit by the still-slow underlying market, broadly in line with our expectations but with weaker quality. We have thus reduced our 2024/25–2026/27e EPS by 8–1%. We see potential for a market volume recovery and execution on continued acquisition-based growth. However, after a period with the stock driven by multiples expansion rather than upward forecast momentum, we reiterate our HOLD and SEK330 target price.

Bergman & Beving (Hold, TP: SEK315.00) - Uncharted valuation territory

The Q1 results matched expectations showing slow growth, but a solid profit margin and FCF. We have marginally revised our forecasts for 2024/25–2026/27 after the results. After a strong share price performance and substantial expansion of valuation multiples, we still find the risk/reward neutral. We reiterate our HOLD and have raised our target price of SEK315 (250), turning to a relative valuation base as the shares seem more momentum- than value-driven at present.

The Q4 report showed weak growth, but a solid profit margin and FCF generation. We have marginally revised our forecasts for 2024/25-2026/67e, following the results. After a solid share price performance and substantial expansion of valuation multiples, we find the risk/reward more neutral. We have downgraded to HOLD (BUY), with an increased target price of SEK250 (200), owing to our new 2026/27e valuation base, which suggests less near-term revaluation potential.

Bergman & Beving (Buy, TP: SEK200.00) - New target ‘500/10/45’ by 2025...

The Q3 report showed stronger profit margins and FCF generation, which we believe allows for a continued acquisition focus (six deals YTD), offsetting weaker demand indicators and FX. We have raised our 2023/24–2025/26e EPS by 4–7%. We see potential in the ‘focus model’ to reach a 10% EBIT margin and EBIT of SEK500m by 2025/26 and P/working capital of 45% by 2026/27, now in our value gap analysis. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK200 (170).
