Humana (Hold, TP: SEK27.00) - Never a good time to leave

Q4 was mixed, with Finland and Norway partly offsetting challenges in Sweden and much-improved FCF lending some support. We still see a need for Humana to re-establish its quality credentials, and believe high financial gearing implies that deleveraging focus is needed also in 2024, with the departure of CEO Johanna Rastad adding uncertainty at the wrong time. We reiterate our HOLD but have lowered our target price to SEK27 (29).
