Husqvarna (Hold, TP: SEK125.00) - The growth story continues

Since 2014, Gardena has had organic sales growth of c8–9% per year with solid profitability. The acquisition of Orbit Irrigation means that Gardena will take a big step into the US. We believe the deal could be the start of something big, and that the division is well positioned for multi-year growth. However, we reiterate our HOLD and SEK125 target price on Husqvarna as we are concerned about consumer discretionary demand trends in 2022e based on lower stay-at-home-driven demand, reduced stimulus, and a risk of inflationary pressure affecting consumer spending.
