Electrolux Professional (Hold, TP: SEK75.00) - Q4 looks set to be a re...

We expect broadly similar market and divisional dynamics QOQ in Q4, but are less optimistic on growth in the US Food & Beverage segment (we now see the recovery materialising slightly later than initially envisaged). We forecast 6.0% growth YOY in group sales in Q4 and an adj. EBITA margin of 12.3%. We reiterate our HOLD, but have lowered our target price to SEK75 (79) based on our view of a delayed US Food & Beverage recovery as well as continued headwinds in the Middle East into 2025.

Electrolux (Hold, TP: SEK92.00) - Uncertainty remains high

In Q4, we forecast similar demand and market dynamics to Q3, with consumer downtrading, elevated promotional activity, a negative mix, price pressure, and weak consumer demand weighing on sales and EBIT. We expect a sales decline of 1.6% YOY (organic growth of 2.6%) and an adj. EBIT margin of 3.2%. We reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our target price to SEK92 (94).

Novo Nordisk (Buy, TP: DKK1040.00) - Disappointing CagriSema data

In REDEFINE-1, CagriSema reached a 22.7% product estimand weight loss, shy of expectations. We expect a launch in 2026, but have lowered our estimate of its sales potential. In our view, the flexible protocol affected efficacy, prompting Novo Nordisk to initiate a new phase III trial in 2025. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to DKK1,040 (1,150).

SalMar (Buy, TP: NOK690.00) - Below consensus for Q4e

Our below-consensus trend continues, having adjusted Q4e for a lower spot price. We estimate operating EBIT of NOK1,276m, ~22% below consensus of NOK1,627m. While we have reduced our price forecasts, we have raised the superior share and the margin in VAP and Sales. We reiterate our BUY and NOK690 target price. The Q4 results are due at 06:30 CET on 18 February.
