Volvo (Hold, TP: SEK175.00) - Cheap, no inflection point in sight

We are 5% above consensus on Truck orders and 3% for Truck sales for Q3e driven by a gradual improvement in the supply chain and the opening up of the H1 2023 build slots. However, we are only 1% above on group sales and in line on adj. EBIT. We have cut our target price to SEK175 (185) on broadly unchanged estimates but reiterate our HOLD, despite a near all-time low valuation, as we still see a neutral risk/reward with c5% potential downside to consensus 2023–2024e adj. EBIT.
