HMS Networks (Hold, TP: SEK470.00) - Yet another beat on orders

HMS Networks continues to demonstrate superior growth at a ~30% ROCE, with a still-fertile demand backdrop leading to a continuous positive estimate revisions trend. We have concerns about its rich valuation multiples and end-market indicators showing signs of a slowdown, but we have raised our 2022–2023e adj. EBIT by 1–4% on its order backlog, which is 5x higher than pre-2021 levels. We reiterate our HOLD but have lifted our target price to SEK470 (425).
