Atlas Copco (Hold, TP: SEK110.00) - Estimates broadly unchanged
Strong demand, in particular for gas and process compressors, which are benefiting from high energy prices, was a key positive in the Q2 results. However, cost inflation is proving more of a challenge to offset than consensus and we expected, and visibility on demand medium-term remains limited; thus, we see a risk of a negative consensus revision trend. We reiterate our HOLD but have raised our target price to SEK110 (100) on a higher valuation (in line with 10-year average NTM EV/EBIT).Atlas Copco provides industrial productivity products and services. Co.'s operations are divided into four business areas: Compressor Technique (provides compressors, vacuum solutions, gas and process compressors and expanders, air and gas treatment equipment and air management systems), Industrial Technique (provides power tools, assembly systems, quality assurance products, software and service through a global network), Mining and Rock Excavation Technique (provides equipment for drilling and rock excavation), and Construction Technique (provides construction and demolition tools, portable compressors, pumps and generators, lighting towers, and compaction and paving equipment).
