Elekta (Hold, TP: SEK69.00) - Still in ‘wait and see’ mode
During its Q1 call, Elekta indicated that H1 would be weaker than H2, and we believe this is reflected by consensus. For Q2, we forecast sales growth of c-5% YOY and organic growth of c-1% YOY. We expect order intake of cSEK4.9bn, broadly in line with consensus, and that the book-to-bill in Q2 should remain well above 1x. We are still cautious regarding Elekta’s longer-term performance, and reiterate our HOLD, while we have lowered our target price to SEK69 (76).Elekta AB is a human care company providing clinical solutions for treating cancer and brain disorders.
