Humana (Hold, TP: SEK30.00) - Back in acquisition mode

Q1 was mixed, with momentum still improving in Finland and Humana returning to acquisition mode, targeting Team Olivia (TO) Norway. While we find the deal value-enhancing, Humana’s relatively high financial gearing would suggest a deleveraging focus near-term, and the departure of CEO Johanna Rastad has added uncertainty at the wrong time. We reiterate our HOLD, but have raised our target price to SEK30 (27) on higher forecasts.
