Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK160.00) - Expecting resilient service business in weak new car market
We are neutral on Bilia’s Q2 results (due at 07:00 CET on 18 July), expecting still-strong results in the service business to offset the earnings headwind in its car business given weak Nordic consumer sentiment. We believe investor focus will be on comments on the timing of a market recovery (we expect H2), and continue to see earnings momentum in 2025. We reiterate our BUY, and have raised our target price to SEK160 (148) after rolling forward our valuation to 2025–2026e.Bilia is mainly engaged in the distribution and servicing of cars and transport vehicles in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
