Sandvik (Buy, TP: SEK170.00) - Set for a good 2018

We have upgraded Sandvik to BUY (HOLD) with a new target price of SEK170 (142). We have raised our 2018–2019e EBIT by 5%, leaving us 4% above SME Direkt consensus (adjusted for the divestment of Process Systems). We expect SMS to be a growth driver in H1, and momentum in SM&RT to pick up in H2. With new management and cost reductions in place, we expect profitability improvements for SMT in 2018–2019.
