Grand opening of Bilia XPENG in Gothenburg

Grand opening of Bilia XPENG in Gothenburg

On October 27, we have our Grand opening of Bilia's new XPENG facility in Gothenburg, Sisjön. XPENG's first two models in Sweden – the sports sedan P7 and the SUV G9 will be on site, and we will also show the unique prototype X2, XPENG's flying car.

Our product specialists look forward to delivering a modern, digitalized, and personalized customer experience. This means everything related to the car ownership from advice, test drives, orders, deliveries to changing tires and performing service, etc.

"Now we are finally opening the doors to our own showroom after a summer and autumn with temporary showings at various locations in Gothenburg. The interest has been significant, and it feels good that our customers now can come directly to us for advice, test drive the cars, place orders and book service. This is what Bilia is all about - we take care of our customers’ needs within mobility. The next step in our establishment of Bilia XPENG in Sweden will likely be in Malmö," says Per Avander, CEO Bilia AB.

"The opening of Bilia's facility in Gothenburg is a milestone in XPENG's expansion in Sweden. With deliveries of the XPENG P7 and G9 underway, another XPENG facility in Sweden is a natural step for us. The cars have been well-received and with Bilia's recognized high-quality service, we further strengthen our position in the Swedish market", says Elvis Cheng, CEO of Sweden and Benelux at XPENG.

XPENG's first two models in Sweden – the sports sedan P7 and the SUV G9, stand out in terms of both range, efficient fast charging and outstanding technology. In connection with the opening, we look forward to the first deliveries of the G9 model to Gothenburg.

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.
