Bilia expands its collaboration with Alpine



Now we are expanding our collaboration with the French car brand Alpine by offering sales and service at two more of our Bilia facilities. Alpine aims to become a leader among electric sports cars and by 2026 expects to be able to offer a complete model program of three fully electric sports cars.

Bilia is a dealer of Alpine’s cars in Segeltorp in southern Stockholm since 2019, when the brand was introduced on the Swedish market. Now we are expanding the collaboration by offering two more sales and service points in Lund and Sisjön in Gothenburg. Alpine aims to become a leader among electric sports cars and by 2026 expects to be able to offer a complete model program of three fully electric sports cars – a compact hatchback, a SUV and a pure sports car.

”We are very happy with the trust and possibility to increase our sales of Alpine’s innovative sports cars. The Alpine cars have fantastic driving performance and we look forward to making Alpine more accessible than ever – from today’s New A110 to the new electric car program planned for 2026” says Mathias Nilsson, MD Bilia Personbilar AB.

”Alpine has always looked into the future, without losing its history from the rearview mirror. The brand plays an important role in the Renault Group’s development in the coming years – where Alpine is at the center of the innovation work and technology development. Today’s Alpine A110 is a unique product on the market and the upcoming electric models will show that electrification also belongs in the sports car segment. The breadth of assets from the Formel 1 team to the factory in Dieppe gives the brand a starting point few get. Alpine’s modern journey in Sweden began together with Bilia and now we continue together into the future. These two new facilities are a logical step in making Alpine more accessible than ever” says Thomas Holm, Sweden Manager Renault Group.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK160.00) - 2025 earnings outlook optimism

The highlights from Q4 were its 20%+ new car order intake (the first time in 14 quarters with a positive YOY trend in its service margin) and the c8% beat on operating earnings. With a gradual improvement among the private consumers, a stronger leasing market for new cars, and a stable service business, earnings growth for 2025 looks promising (we forecast +56% YOY), in our view. We reiterate our BUY, but have raised our target price to SEK160 (145) on the recent revaluation of the stock.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK145.00) - Better-than-expected Q4 results

We consider this a positive report for Bilia, including Q4 operating earnings c8% above consensus, a continued recovery in new car sales and stable service levels, but DPS slightly below expectations. We expect consensus 2025e operating earnings to come up c0–2% on the back of the results and a positive share price reaction.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK145.00) - Cautious on Q4e, focus on 2025

We are cautious ahead of Bilia’s Q4 results, as new car registrations for its brands have been soft, along with still-high cost inflation, ongoing investments, and consolidation of recent M&A weighing on opex. Consequently, we expect focus to be on the outlook commentary for 2025. We reiterate our BUY and SEK145 target price, as we continue to find the valuation attractive.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Mixed Q3

We consider this a mixed report for Bilia, including a stronger-than-expected service business offset by a weaker car business, resulting in in-line operating earnings. However, new car order intake was on the soft side, while bookings in its service workshops remain good. We expect consensus 2024e operating earnings to remain largely unchanged, but EPS to come down 3–4%. We expect a neutral share price reaction.
