Humana (Buy, TP: SEK85.00) - Predictability and stability

Humana’s ambition to increase predictability and stability continues to pay off with Q1 being no exception, with solid growth, profitability and cash flow, even as many of its underlying markets were anything but stable. Improved financial flexibility has created room for new growth initiatives and further share buybacks with the upcoming doubling of the Swedish elderly care exposure set to provide a good contribution in 2022, in our view. We have raised our 2021–2023e EPS by 3–5%, reiterating our BUY with a SEK85 (82) target price.
