We estimate Q1 sales of SEK8,709m, organic growth of c5% YOY, and adj. EBITA of SEK795m (6% below consensus). We have lowered our 2025–2027e adj. EBITA by c9% on average (mainly due to FX, but also somewhat reduced demand estimates). We reiterate our BUY, but have lowered our target price to SEK165 (182) on our updated valuation and estimates.
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 view the Q4 results as overall neutral given the strong organic growth (all businesses) but weaker margin. As a result, we have reduced our 2025–2026e adj. EBITA by 1% on average. Growth is robust going into 2025, and management appears optimistic about the M&A pipeline. We reiterate our BUY and SEK182 target price, and continue to see Beijer Ref as a strong growth story.
We have upgraded Beijer Ref to BUY (HOLD) as we see an opportunity in this potential double-digit earnings growth story at what we view as a reasonable valuation given the recent share price weakness (-c14% in the past six months). We expect the OEM business and potential M&A to remain the main growth engines for the story and note a solid balance sheet and cash flows. We have left our adj. EBITA broadly unchanged for 2025–2026e, but have updated our valuation and raised our target price to SEK1...
