Lyko Group (Buy, TP: SEK358.00) - Onwards and upwards
Q2 sales were 3% above consensus, while EBIT was 48% above due to a solid top line and a strong and improving gross margin. The results were supported by changes in the product mix and sales split between countries and segments, lower costs for campaigns, and lower costs for the expansion in Europe than we expected. We reiterate our BUY and have increased our target price to SEK358 (348) after raising our 2022 estimates.Lyko Group AB (publ) is a Sweden-based care and beauty company.
