Our key takeaways from this week are: 1) we downgraded Lundbergs to SELL with an unchanged SEK485 target price following a change of analyst, and as we find the premium to NAV unwarranted in light of our forecast NAV decline in 2024; 2) VNV Global sold assets for up to USD58m, bringing it one step closer to funding its January 2025 bond; and 3) Bure grew its NAV by 33%, including dividends in 2023.

Lundbergs (Sell, TP: SEK485.00) - A good time to crystalise gains
2023 has seen Lundbergs’ underlying portfolio benefit from investors seeking safe havens, while the OMXS Benchmark index inclusion has fuelled a premium to NAV valuation. In our view, this is more than reflected in the current share price, with negligible discount-on-discount effects from its Industrivärden holding, and we forecast a NAV decline in the listed portfolio of 3% in 2024. We have downgraded to SELL (HOLD), with an unchanged SEK485 target price following a change of analyst.

Key takeaways from the past week: 1) we downgraded Latour to HOLD (BUY), with a new SEK280 (245) target price, as we find the near-term upside risk rather limited at a 36% premium to NAV going into a potentially tough 2024; 2) Lundbergs is set to report Q4 results next week following strong share price performance after the news of its inclusion in the Nasdaq OMXS Benchmark index.

Key takeaways from the past week: 1) we downgraded Industrivärden to HOLD (BUY) with a new SEK340 (330) target price following TSR gains of 33% in 2023; 2) VEF released a research report on its Brazilian embedded finance company Gringo and the Brazilian driver ecosystem; and 3) Latour’s Q4 results are due on 12 February, where we see a less appealing risk/reward given a fairly high 45% premium to NAV.
