Hexpol (Hold, TP: SEK114.00) - Balanced risk/reward
The Q3 results were below our forecast and consensus, with limited forward-looking commentary from management (as usual). We expect the current automotive market weakness to persist, and have cut our adj. EBIT by c8% on average for 2024–2026e, and reiterate our HOLD, but have lowered our target price to SEK114 (132) owing to our estimate cuts.Hexpol is organized in two business areas: HEXPOL Compounding and HEXPOL Engineered Products.
