Volvo (Hold, TP: SEK220.00) - It’s semi-problem
Yesterday, Volvo issued a press release stating that production in trucks will be down for two to four weeks in early Q2 and that disturbances are expected in other business areas due to a shortage of semiconductors. We expected Volvo to have problems ramping up production in H1 2020. However, the risk seems to be on the downside and production will be lower. We see a risk that the supply chain issues could last into H2. Hence, we believe a higher risk premium is justified. We have downgraded our recommendation to HOLD (BUY) and lowered our target price to SEK 220(240).Volvo is a manufacturer of trucks, buses, construction equipment and marine and industrial engines.
