Husqvarna (Sell, TP: SEK105.00) - Costs, costs, costs and costs
Since the publication of Husqvarna’s Q4 report, costs for raw materials, components, transportation, electricity and wages have all risen. Although we expect more price increases from Husqvarna to follow, the timing differences should result in near-term margin pressure. We also see a risk that cost inflation in general should affect end-demand. We have cut our 2022e EPS by 5% and are now 12% below consensus. We have downgraded Husqvarna to SELL (HOLD) and lowered our target price of SEK105 (130).Husqvarna AB produces outdoor power products.
