SSAB (Buy, TP: SEK105.00) - Standing on firm ground

With a P/E of well below 3x and net cash of SEK14/share for 2022e, it looks to us that the market is expecting profits to instantly collapse. We disagree with this view. Given SSAB’s strong cost and market positions, as well as tight markets for special and heavy plate steel, we expect Q2 earnings to be well above market expectations. Given our confidence in SSAB’s long-term ‘green’ transition, we also see significant long-term value creation. We reiterate our BUY and SEK105 target price.
