SKF (Hold, TP: SEK160.00) - In need of an energy boost
We are 7% below consensus on Q3e adj. EBIT. With SKF facing a cyclical slowdown, rising energy costs and material downside risk to consensus in our view (we are 15% below on 2023–2024e adj. EBIT), we see the risk/reward as neutral despite near all-time low valuation multiples. We reiterate our HOLD but have cut our target price to SEK160 (180) after lowering our 2022–2024e adj.
