Essity (Buy, TP: SEK330.00) - Financial targets up next

The solid Q1 results were aided by the ongoing gross margin recovery, YOY and QOQ. We expect investor focus from here to be on whether Essity can offset rising raw material costs through agility and pricing power. We see new financial targets and capital allocations as the next potential share-price catalysts; we reiterate our BUY and have edged up our target price to SEK330 (325).

Pulp fiction in Q1, reality for Q2

Sinch (Buy, TP: SEK52.00) - New reporting structure implemented

With a new reporting structure, focus will be on headline numbers (the Q1 report is due at 07:30 CET on 7 May). We forecast 6% organic gross profit growth YOY, and we believe this is about in line with consensus. We reiterate our BUY and SEK52 target price.

Truecaller (Buy, TP: SEK46.00) - Facing easy comparables in Q1

We believe our Q1 revenue assumptions could prove conservative (results due at 07:30 CET on 7 May), but we are still 3% above consensus on sales and 5% above on EBITDA. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK46 (40) on higher peer multiples.

The market is still pricing Safe Bulkers at c50% of NAV, which screens at a noticeable discount to peers’ average P/NAV of ~0.8x. This, along with its contract portfolio, continues to provide relatively attractive exposure to the dry bulk segment, despite potential downside risk to demand on fundamental drivers in China (importer of ~50% of all volumes). We do not consider these changes to be material, and we have not changed our BU...
