Assa Abloy (Hold, TP: SEK345.00) - Lock in profit
We have downgraded Assa Abloy to HOLD (BUY), and lowered our target price to SEK345 (390), as we see increased end-market uncertainty (in particular in the US), which is likely to put pressure on consensus and sentiment. For Q1e, we are 7% below consensus on adj. EBIT due to recent adverse FX moves and headwinds from M&A, as well as some non-recurring costs. We have lowered our 2025–2027e adj. EBIT by 6% on FX and slightly lower margin assumptions.ASSA ABLOY provides a range of door opening solutions. Co. is organized into five divisions.
