Q1 proved another solid quarter, aided by impressive earnings resilience in SSAB Special Steels and SSAB Europe. While we have lowered our 2024-25 forecasts for SSAB Americas, this is offset by a more positive view on SSAB Special Steels and SSAB Europe, meaning our group earnings are largely unchanged. We reiterate our BUY, but given the stock is now trading ex-dividend (DPS of SEK5), we have lowered our target price to SEK100 (SEK105).
>Q1 a strong beat on Europe and Special Steels, Americas more underwhelming - SSAB delivered better-than-expected Q1 results with EBITDA at SEK 4.1bn, 18% > consensus and 26% > ODDO BHF. The beat was essentially driven by the Special Steels division which achieved SEK 2.1bn of EBITDA, 45% > consensus on very sound volume growth (+17% q-o-q) as good demand in material handling offset weakness in construction. Europe also outperformed with EBITDA at SEK 0.6bn, 44% > con...

Due to negative effects from the ongoing strikes in Finland and a more cautious view on prices for the America’s division, we have cut our EBITDA for 2024e by c9%. More importantly, we have also revised our long-term forecast following SSAB’s cSEK50bn capex plan to turn the Lulea steel mill into a new fossil-free mini-mill system by 2028e that we estimate will mean at least SEK5bn structurally higher annual EBITDA. Reflecting the estimate cuts and heavier capex than previously assumed, we have c...
A strong start to 2024, and spring sales with solid gross margins, have boosted confidence in H&M’s near-term 10% EBIT margin target. We like the store-refurbishment acceleration too, supporting our view of it returning to store growth in 2025e. We reiterate our BUY, but have raised our target price to SEK200 (180) on higher forecasts.
>Higher gross margin more than offsets in-line sales and higher opex… - H&M’s Q1 2024 results were ahead of our and consensus estimates (EBITDA 9.4% above consensus and 7.8% above our estimates) due to stronger tailwinds from COGS (5.8% lower than estimated) and despite in-line sales in the quarter (0.6% above consensus and 0.6% below our estimates). The better performance from COGS fed through to the rest of the P&L, obviously with a positive leverage effect, le...
We consider this a positive report for H&M, including EBIT 53% above consensus, a reiterated 2024 EBIT margin target, and decent start to spring sales. We expect consensus 2024e adj. EBIT to come up by 5%+ on the back of the Q1 report, and believe a positive share price reaction is warranted.
>We are lowering our estimates after disappointing results in the last quarters, especially in Q4 2023, showing the challenges faced by the company… - We continue to think that H&M needs a significant change in its model in order not to lose market share, and that the results published over the last few quarters are testimony of the difficulty in achieving such transformation. The decline in sales in the last reported quarter, as well as the negative top line growth p...
>Environnement de marché plus faible qu’attendu notamment sur les plates US - Dans la continuité de 2023, SSAB affiche la meilleure performance boursière du secteur depuis le début 2024, en hausse (modeste) de 1,5%, grâce à ses positions sur les aciers spéciaux et aux US qui le rendent moins sensible que les autres acteurs à la dégradation actuelle du marché de l’acier due à la faible conjoncture en Chine. Toutefois, le groupe n’est pas complètement à l’écart. En part...
>Weaker market environment than expected, notably in US plate steel - Carrying on from 2023, SSAB has posted the best share performance in the sector year-to-date, up a (modest) 1.5%, thanks to its positions in special steels and in the US, which make it less sensitive than other players to the current deterioration of the steel market due to the weak Chinese economy. However, the group is not completely shielded. In particular, US plate prices continue to trend downw...
