Hexagon (Buy, TP: SEK140.00) - Resilience despite growth woes
As Hexagon has counteracted criticism of FCF quality, margin profile, and financial reporting transparency in recent quarters, the investor debate has shifted back to the durability of its organic growth. As Q1 showed a sequential deceleration which could persist until H2 (easier comparables), we find our re-rating case slightly postponed. We are encouraged by organic growth in areas key for the investment case (recurring portfolio), FCF strength and margin resilience, and reiterate our BUY and SEK140 target price.
