ICA (Sell, TP: SEK380.00) - Challenges mounting

We reiterate our SELL and SEK380 target price as we still believe ICA is facing intensified competition, market share pressure, and unfavourable price positioning. The valuation still looks stretched to us, and we see material downside risk at current valuation levels.
