Billerud (Buy, TP: SEK152.00) - Rosy outlook

Q4 earnings growth was strong on underlying support from markets, cost control and a favourable price/mix strategy. Although we have reduced our 2025e EBITDA by 4%, our optimistic earnings forecasts still translate into appealing earnings multiples. We also note ample earnings risk has been reduced for 2025–2026e following the solid Q4 report and overall positive outlook comments on pricing for Europe and North America. We reiterate our BUY and SEK152 target price.
