ICA (Sell, TP: SEK370.00) - Further downside risk in 2022

Tomorrow marks one year since we initiated on ICA. Despite the share being down 11% over the past year, the valuation still looks stretched to us, and we see material downside risk in 2022. In addition, near-term we believe ICA will face growing structural headwinds from intensifying competition, market-share pressure and unfavourable price positioning, and we reiterate our SELL and SEK370 target price.
