Nokian Tyres (Hold, TP: EUR6.30) - No clear road

While we acknowledge Nokian Tyres’ ‘local-to-local’ approach in the US may shelter it from worst tariff impacts, we believe increased uncertainty on consumer sentiment in North America could lead to weaker demand for its high-value premium range in the short term, raising the risk of fixed-cost under-absorption and partly offsetting potentially better EBIT drop-through from Romania (Q2 onwards). We reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our target price to EUR6.3 (6.7), following a c9% clean EBIT cut for 2025e, and c2% cuts for 2026–2027e.
