Hexagon AB (Buy, TP: SEK830.00) - 29% EBIT margin excluding FX

We believe Hexagon is well-placed in 2021 as: 1) it is positioned to outgrow a cyclical recovery; 2) its software mix is set to drive predictable incremental EBIT margins to 27–28% in 2021–2022e; 3) it has a EUR3bn ‘bankroll’ for potential M&A; 4) we see it as a potential beneficiary of the EU Taxonomy; and 5) it should provide new ambitious five-year targets later in 2021. We reiterate our BUY and SEK830 target price.
