MHC’s growth in need of a cure

The Q3 report supports our optimistic long-term view of the investment case, driven by strong cash flows and an attractive balance sheet, allowing the company to continue its dividend strategy and support the current portfolio holdings. However, Mölnlycke disappointed again with weak growth and profitability, which could lead to a slightly softer short-term sentiment towards the shares. We keep our BUY recommendation and target price of SEK450 based on a 13% discount to NAV, which we see narrowing from today’s 19%.
