Volvo Cars (Hold, TP: SEK18.00) - Downside risk to consensus
We are 26% below post-Q4 consensus on EBIT before JVs for Q1, as we estimate revenues to decline by 11% organically YOY to SEK87.1bn (4% below consensus) and a gross margin of 18.1% (consensus 18.3%). Retail sales declined 6% YOY in Q1, and wholesale sales are expected to be even lower. We have reduced our 2025–2027e EBIT before JVs by c26–14% due to FX and lower gross margin assumptions and are now 34–63% below consensus. We believe consensus is underestimating the price/mix headwinds and see V...

Epiroc (Hold, TP: SEK220.00) - No earnings growth in 2025e
We have downgraded Epiroc to HOLD (BUY). We still believe in stronger end markets for the Tools & Attachment division in H2, and for gradual underlying earnings improvement, but lack confidence it will improve stock sentiment in a macro-focused environment. We expect no earnings growth YOY in 2025e, after lowering our 2025–2027e adj. EBIT by c9% on average (mainly due to FX) and are now c10% below post-Q4 consensus. We have lowered our target price to SEK220 (240).

Set for spicy growth
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 ...

The hard rock bustle
Our review of 12 major miners’ guidance suggests 6% YOY capex growth in 2025, with growth project capex up 23%. Copper remains a key investment priority, accounting for c35% of miners’ capex, driven by global megatrends and supply constraints. This is particularly supportive for our BUY names: Metso (32% copper exposure), Epiroc (28%), and FLSmidth (21%), while Sandvik (HOLD) also stands to benefit, although its large metal-cutting tools business reduces its direct copper exposure to 12%.

Who stands to benefit?
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...

Volvo Cars (Hold, TP: SEK23.00) - ‘Transitioning’ to further uncertain...
Volvo Cars flagged that 2025 would be a transition year, with volumes and profits set to decline YOY. In fact, the raised 2025 FCF outlook was the lone bright spot in management’s comments indicating a tougher market, increased discounts and pressure on profitability in the coming year. We have lowered our 2025–2026e adj. EBIT by 12% on average and are now 25–41% below consensus. We reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our target price to SEK23 (25).

Epiroc (Buy, TP: SEK240.00) - Mining strong, T&A dragging along
Equipment & Service ended 2024 solidly, with orders and sales up 5–6% organically YOY and the guidance of mining demand to remain strong. However, the Tools & Attachment (T&A) margin weakened further, with unquantified one-offs making it hard to assess the underlying run-rate. However, we remain confident in stronger end markets for T&A and for the cost actions to show effect through 2025e, and reiterate our BUY. We have raised our target price to SEK240 (230), but lowered our 2025–2026e adj. EB...

ODDO : 2025 : potentiellement un meilleur cru que 2024
L’année 2025 verra, selon nous, une poursuite de la croissance du CA (5% estimé vs 1.5% en 2024e) et de l’amélioration de la marge (53 pb vs 14 pb en 2024e), à l’exception possible de quelques sociétés (marge optimisée ou risque lié aux hausses des droits de douane). Si quelques thématiques devraient rester inchangées (exposition USA, Green Capex, datacenters, etc), d’autres émergeront (construction, discrete automation) ou accélèreront (semiconducteurs) au cours de l’année. Dans ce contexte, no...
