Hexagon’s Q2e outlook was better than feared after its Q1 profit warning. We see an attractive risk/reward following the recent sell-off amid: 1) the organic sales growth and earnings momentum story unfolding with defensive traits (albeit bruised); 2) the ‘NewCo’ spin-off crystallising values; 3) new leadership starting on Monday, which should appeal to a broader investor base; and 4) an undemanding valuation on absolute and relative bases, near a historical trough. We reiterate our BUY but have...
After recent market volatility, we see upside potential due to: 1) a long-awaited acceleration in organic growth (with defensive traits); 2) earnings momentum translating into YOY adj. EPS growth of 17% in 2025e; 3) the ‘NewCo’ spinoff (c25% of group EBIT) crystallising values; 4) new leadership appealing to a broader international investor base; 5) strong Q4 results that encouraged bulls and de-risked the 2025e case, potentially attracting new investors; and 6) undemanding valuation, in our opi...

A potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could unlock one of the largest reconstruction efforts in modern history. The World Bank estimates Ukraine will need USD486bn in rebuilding efforts over the next decade, but we estimate this would add only c2% to annual European construction spending. While the direct earnings effect may be modest, we expect the “rebuild Ukraine theme” to drive investor sentiment. We see Volvo, Epiroc, Hexagon, Metso, Hiab and ABB as some of the primary beneficia...
We see six potential drivers that could take the stock back to all-time highs in 2025: 1) long-awaited acceleration in organic growth; 2) earnings momentum translating into 21% adj. EPS growth YOY in 2025e; 3) the ‘NewCo’ spin-off (~20% of group EBIT) crystallising values; 4) Björn Rosengren as vice board chair and Anders Svensson as CEO appealing to a broader international investor base; 5) strong Q4 results encouraged bulls and de-risked the 2025e case, and could attract new investors; and 6) ...
