SKF (Hold, TP: SEK205.00) - Unable to convince the market

SKF aims to “double the business, at improved margins” by 2030. This would be a paradigm shift from its history of low-single-digit annual growth to annual growth of c8%. However, the share price fell by 9% following the report, as the company was apparently unable to convince the market, which focused on Q4’s weak margin. Although the valuation is low, we see no potential triggers for a re-rating. We reiterate our HOLD but have cut our target price to SEK205 (235) on our 1–2% lower 2022–2023e adj. EBIT.
