Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK160.00) - 2025 earnings outlook optimism

The highlights from Q4 were its 20%+ new car order intake (the first time in 14 quarters with a positive YOY trend in its service margin) and the c8% beat on operating earnings. With a gradual improvement among the private consumers, a stronger leasing market for new cars, and a stable service business, earnings growth for 2025 looks promising (we forecast +56% YOY), in our view. We reiterate our BUY, but have raised our target price to SEK160 (145) on the recent revaluation of the stock.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK145.00) - Better-than-expected Q4 results

We consider this a positive report for Bilia, including Q4 operating earnings c8% above consensus, a continued recovery in new car sales and stable service levels, but DPS slightly below expectations. We expect consensus 2025e operating earnings to come up c0–2% on the back of the results and a positive share price reaction.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK145.00) - Cautious on Q4e, focus on 2025

We are cautious ahead of Bilia’s Q4 results, as new car registrations for its brands have been soft, along with still-high cost inflation, ongoing investments, and consolidation of recent M&A weighing on opex. Consequently, we expect focus to be on the outlook commentary for 2025. We reiterate our BUY and SEK145 target price, as we continue to find the valuation attractive.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Mixed Q3

We consider this a mixed report for Bilia, including a stronger-than-expected service business offset by a weaker car business, resulting in in-line operating earnings. However, new car order intake was on the soft side, while bookings in its service workshops remain good. We expect consensus 2024e operating earnings to remain largely unchanged, but EPS to come down 3–4%. We expect a neutral share price reaction.
