Essity (Buy, TP: SEK350.00) - Margin resilience in focus

We forecast sequentially higher raw material costs, only partly offset by lower energy costs, cost savings and underlying volume improvements supported by higher A&P spending, leaving our Q3e adj. EBITA largely in line with consensus. We expect the Q4 and 2025 outlook to be in focus, given most restructuring projects are due to be completed by year-end, as well as its margin resilience, capital allocation and M&A outlook now that multiples have started to normalise. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK350 (330) on higher estimates.
