Sandvik (Hold, TP: SEK245.00) - Weakness expected but not flagged
Q1 was weak, but management commentary suggests the issues were both expected and temporary, and should recover through the year. We are still left with some concerns – particularly the margin weakness and why the temporary issues in SMR had not been communicated if they were anticipated. Early Q2 trading comments for SMM (stable compared to Q1) do not change our view of the short cycle in general or the division in particular. We have lowered our 2024–2026e underlying adj. EBITA by 2–3%, but positive FX offset most of this. We reiterate our HOLD and SEK245 target price.Sandvik is organized into five business areas: Sandvik Mining, Sandvik Machining Solutions, Sandvik Materials Technology, Sandvik Construction and Sandvik Venture.
