Ericsson Minor model adjustments

Ahead of Ericsson’s Q2 results (due at 07.00 CET on 12 July), we have lowered our 2024–2025e adj. EPS by 4–6%, factoring in FX headwinds while our underlying estimates are unchanged. We do not consider these changes to be material and have not changed our BUY recommendation. However, we have raised our target price to 72 (70), applying a 9x multiple to our 2024–2025e EV/EBIT. We are 3–9% above post-Q1 Infront consensus for Q2e and 2024e adj. EBITA, and 40% above for 2024e FCF. We see the Q2 results as a potential de-risking event ahead of mix-driven earnings and an expected FCF rebound that should trigger a re-rating in H2e. We note recent supportive insider activity.
