SSAB (Buy, TP: SEK35.00) - BUY ahead of earnings recovery
We reiterate our BUY and SEK35 target price, as: 1) outlook comments suggest we are approaching trough earnings; 2) operational performance in Special Steels bodes well for cost absorption and mix effects; and 3) we expect rising steel prices to drive profitability. In our view, expanding margins are not reflected in the valuation, and combining our 2022e volume scenario with peak EBITDA per tonne could justify a fair value of SEK54. We have raised our 2021–2022e EBITDA by 2–5%.SSAB is a supplier of high strength steels with products comprising various qualities and dimensions within wear steels and structural steels.
