Reports on SYSTEMAIR AB

  • Douglas Lindahl

Systemair (Hold, TP: SEK105.00) - Closing in on margin target

Q2 2024/25 brought another strong adj. EBIT margin, and the CEO remains confident in overall market conditions. We have raised our 2024/25–2026/27e adj. EBIT by c8% on average, and our target price to SEK105 (85) dafter updating our valuation metrics. However, Systemair tends to see some performance volatility quarter to quarter (partly due to its project nature), and the stock is still trading above historical average multiples; with limited upside potential, we reiterate our HOLD.

Systemair (Hold, TP: SEK85.00) - On the right margin path

Systemair’s gross margin gains reinforce our confidence in profitability from here. However, our 2024/25–2026/27 adj. EBIT forecasts are largely unchanged post-Q1, with lower top-line estimates broadly offset by higher margin assumptions. We reiterate our HOLD and SEK85 target price, with the valuation looking fair, minimal differences between our estimates and consensus, and the market already pricing in expectations of improving market dynamics and expanding margins.

Systemair (Hold, TP: SEK85.00) - Negative mix likely to continue

After a mixed Q4 (which was below consensus but above our forecast on adj. EBIT), we have raised our estimates as we are now slightly more positive on future margins. Given our updated estimates and recently expanded peer multiples, we have raised our target price to SEK85 (78), but reiterate our HOLD. We expect continued negative (YOY) margin trends in Q1 due to mix.

Systemair (Hold, TP: SEK78.00) - HOLD on lacklustre outlook

Q3 earnings were well below our estimate and consensus, and we have cut our 2023/24–2025/26e adj. EBIT by c15% on average, and in turn lowered our target price to SEK78 (90). Given the limited upside potential and our view of market conditions in Systemair’s most profitable regions remaining challenging and weighing on earnings, we have downgraded to HOLD (BUY).

Systemair (Buy, TP: SEK90.00) - Green shoots

Following the solid Q2 results, we have raised our adj. EBIT estimates by 2% on average for the next three years. Organic growth was stronger than we expected, and management was upbeat on demand ahead given recent order activity. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK90 (86).
