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...
Our recent field trip to India (visiting Volvo, Epiroc, Trelleborg, Autoliv and others) alongside our analysis suggests the country is set to take centre stage as a global manufacturing hub over the coming decade, shifting from being the sixth- to the third-largest end-market for the Swedish Industrial sector. India’s strong economic growth trajectory and favourable demographics mean the companies: 1) see double-digit growth as sustainable; 2) are pursuing manufacturing capacity expansions; and ...
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.

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) ...
Hexagon’s stock has seen a long-awaited recovery with Björn Rosengren set to become vice chairman in 2025, which we believe acts as a quality stamp and should appeal to a broader international investor base. We see Q4e as a clearing event, as 1) an earnings momentum story is building from 5% organic sales growth YOY and 15% adj. EPS growth YOY in 2025e; 2) the planned spin-off of ‘NewCo’ (~20% of EBIT) should remove its conglomerate discount and crystallise values; and 3) the valuation remains u...
