Hennes & Mauritz (Buy, TP: SEK190.00) - Building momentum into 2025

With a scrapped 2024 margin ambition amid weaker than expected sales and a drag from external factors YTD, we believe investor focus is shifting to 2025 as the relaunch of its autumn collection and marketing efforts appear well received by customers, creating optimism for a favourable sales backdrop into the Christmas season and next year. We also remain hopeful for a return to store growth in 2025, supporting sales and profitability. We reiterate our BUY and SEK190 target price.

ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – DETAILED COMMENTS 09/26/2024

‘Soft landing’... the term is in vogue and we think it aptly describes the current situation in the energy market. After a period of “excess profits”, the fundamentals are back in favour and prompt us to revise down our estimates for energy prices. - Alongside renewable energies, pockets of sustainable value creation are emerging for players capable of capitalising on the structural growth in volatility on the electricity markets but which are nonetheless trading at a discount In the U...

ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – COMMENTAIRES DETAILLES 26/09/2024

“Soft landing”… le terme est à la mode et nous pensons qu’il caractérise bien la situation du marché de l’énergie aujourd’hui. Après une parenthèse de « surprofits », les fondamentaux reprennent leur droit et nous conduisent à réviser en baisse nos hypothèses de prix de l’énergie. A côté du renouvelable, des poches pérennes de création de valeur apparaissent pour les acteurs capables de profiter de la croissance structurelle de la volatilité des marchés électriques et qui souffrent ma...

Vitrolife (Buy, TP: SEK280.00) - Underlying trends set to continue

Vitrolife stock has recovered nicely since its Q2 report (up c33% since the day before the report). We believe most of the Q2 trends that triggered the revaluation of Vitrolife remain, heading into the Q3 results. For the quarter, we are c1% below consensus on sales and c4% below on adj. EBITDA. We have increased our forecasts from 2025 and our target price to SEK280 (250). We reiterate our BUY.

Pick your contender

Following our ‘investment company weeks’ at DNB Markets in Stockholm, we give a brief update on our view of the sector and summarise our impressions from lunch presentations with 13 investment company CEOs. From a broader perspective, we note the increased investor interest in the sector, as well as the structurally lower discounts to NAV, albeit not in the VC-oriented companies. We continue to have Investor as our sector top pick, with additional BUYs on Latour, Kinnevik, VEF and Flerie.

Storytel (Buy, TP: SEK78.00) - Gross margin momentum

We are 7% above Modular Finance consensus Q3e adj. EBITDA on positive content mix and the full impact of recent cost actions. We have now seen the long-awaited shift in the investor base, but acknowledge that investors could still take a wait-and-see approach to Storytel’s new CEO (starts 1 October) and likely strategic review before there is a re-rating. We reiterate our BUY, with a trimmed SEK78 (80) target price; we continue to see a step-change in profitable growth and FCF generation at an undemanding valuation at a 2025e EV/EBITDA of 5x, P/E of 13x and OpFCF yield of 12%, whilst Storytel’...
