Essity (Hold, TP: SEK260.00) - Neutral territory heading into H2

With pulp prices off their 2018 highs, Essity’s raw material headwinds are easing, albeit not yet fully offset by price rises implemented before the Q1 results (due 25 April); but this should support a reversal of trend from H2 2019. After the strong outperformance over the past six months we find the shares in neutral territory in terms of valuation and potential upside. We reiterate HOLD, and have raised our target price slightly to SEK260 (255).
