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.

Q4 was above our forecasts, with a Climate Solutions’ adj. EBIT margin c50bp above our estimate as the main positive. However, we remain cautious on the margin trajectory, partly due to the continued weak gross margin. We have raised our adj. EBIT by c1% on average for 2025–2026e and reiterate our SEK45 target price and HOLD. Despite overhanging risks, the valuation remains challenging, in our view, offering limited upside potential.
We estimate Q4 sales of SEK10,690m, organic growth of c-8.5% YOY, and adj. EBIT of SEK1,112m (c6% below our adjusted consensus). We expect management to mention expectations of an improving heat pump market in Europe throughout 2025. We have lowered our 2024–2026e adj. EBIT by an average of c6%. We reiterate our HOLD and have reduced our target price to SEK45 (50).
