Surprising drop in equipment deliveries; adj. EBITA -11% vs ABGSC. Should be timing, but risk of course higher; adj. EBITA'24e -3%. HOLD and TP SEK 245 (250) but H2 recovery closer.
Q1'24 adj. EBIT 1% and 7% above ABGSCe and consensus. Good pricing, expect flat pricing from here, supports margins. We raise '24e-'26e adj. EBIT by 2-3%, reiterate BUY and SEK 360 TP.
Flat earnings as bad as it gets in mild downturn. Deep-cyclicals now partly de-risked, so value opportunities fewer. Epiroc and Hexpol down to HOLD; prefer Alfa, Assa, Metso, Hexagon, Volvo.
