MTG (Buy, TP: SEK85.00) - Upside potential revisited

We have upgraded MTG to BUY (HOLD), with an unchanged SEK85 target price following the weak share-price performance and ahead of a potential market recovery in H2. Some challenges remain, but we believe risk/reward has improved. We have raised our 2023e EBITDA by 6%, mainly to reflect positive FX trends. Also, signs that MTG is on track to meet its 2023 organic revenue growth target of -3% to +2% YOY could be a positive catalyst, while we believe the strong balance sheet remains a key positive.
