Time for a pit stop

We have downgraded the stock to HOLD (BUY) but raised our target price to SEK160 (155). The shares are up 47% YTD and 16% from late August when the new financial targets were presented. We believe the stock is fairly priced at current levels, given the more reasonable valuation, coupled with concerns about Q3 (due at 07:20 CET on 20 October,) and the Tesla all-electric truck launch on 16 November.
