Oncopeptides (Buy, TP: SEK2.50) - Germany leads Q3 sales miss

Q3 sales were roughly half the level we expected – admittedly from a small base, but still a concern for us, since the miss was led by Germany, with much slower growth than recently. However, operating expenses were also less than we forecast, leaving an operating loss of SEK61m, a fraction better than our cSEK-63m. End-Q3 cash was SEK250m, which the company said would see it to positive cash flow in 2026e. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to SEK2.5 (4.5) on increased uncertainty about the sales ramp up.

Q3 report: weak Germany weighs on sales

Electrolux Professional (Hold, TP: SEK75.00) - Q4 looks set to be a repeat of Q3

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).
