We view the Q1 results as soft despite strong order growth of 16% organically YOY, with all divisions contributing to the beat. A miss on adj. EBITA was driven by lower sales and a weak Facade Access (FA) margin of 9.5% due to legacy projects and lower utilisation. Alimak stated that investment decisions for new tall buildings would continue to be postponed, and legacy projects phased out through 2025. We reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our target price to SEK125 (140), having lowered our 2025–...
Q1’s punchy order intake was a positive. However, soft US Truck margins, “slightly” negative pricing, mix headwinds for VCE and FX all point to earnings pressure still not being reflected in consensus (we are c15–16% below on 2025–2026e adj. EBIT after lowering our estimates by another c7%). Although the stock is starting to look attractive fundamentally, we expect sentiment to get worse before it gets better, reiterate our SELL and have cut our target price to SEK240 (280).
We are in line with post-Q4 consensus on Q1 sales and adj. EBITA, as we forecast sales of SEK1,800m and an adj. EBITA margin of 18.2% (Q1 2024 16.4%). We expect a sequential decline in the Facade Access adj. EBITA margin, as it was boosted by contingency releases booked in Q4, but a recovery in Construction. We have lowered our 2025–2027e sales by 5% and adj. EBITA by 7% on average due to FX. We reiterate our HOLD and SEK140 target price.
