Alfa Laval (Buy, TP: SEK515.00) - Marine margin thesis playing out

Alfa Laval had an optically weak quarter, but it was clean in operational performance. Early signs of macro caution emerged through a newly introduced “cost prudence initiative” and repeated comments pointing to softer Marine order intake from Q2, but overall stable demand for the group. Still, margin execution was strong, with Marine reaching 21.8%, confirming our positive thesis in the stock, which is now one of the few in the sector where we expect earnings growth YOY in 2025. We have cut our...

Alfa Laval (Buy, TP: SEK565.00) - Pumped and profitable

We are 2–4% below consensus on Q1 orders, sales and adj. EBITA, and expect the Q2 demand guidance to be “somewhat lower” QOQ due to Marine. Despite a 2025e Marine organic order decline of c20% YOY, we expect the division’s margin to gradually improve through the year as the high-margin pumping systems backlog is executed (driving 20% YOY growth in group adj. EBITA). We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to SEK565 (590), having lowered our 2025–2026e adj. EBITA by c4–5% on FX moves.

Set for spicy growth

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. India’s strong economic growth trajectory and favourable demographics mean the companies: 1) see double-digit growth as sustainable; 2) are pursuing manufacturing capacity expansions; and ...

Who stands to benefit?

A potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could unlock one of the largest reconstruction efforts in modern history. The World Bank estimates Ukraine will need USD486bn in rebuilding efforts over the next decade, but we estimate this would add only c2% to annual European construction spending. While the direct earnings effect may be modest, we expect the “rebuild Ukraine theme” to drive investor sentiment. We see Volvo, Epiroc, Hexagon, Metso, Hiab and ABB as some of the primary beneficia...

Alfa Laval (Buy, TP: SEK590.00) - The strong signs nobody saw

Although Q4 was ill-received by investors, we find it supportive of our view Marine margins should improve and that consensus earnings for 2025 are too cautious. Comments on a slowdown in Marine (Framo) orders in 2025 were as we expected, while remarks on backlog and mix clearly support our above-consensus adj. EBITA margin for the Marine division in 2025e. We expect a strong positive mix effect from the large backlog in Framo, driving group adj. EBITA growth of 25% YOY. We have trimmed our 2025...
