We have downgraded to SELL (HOLD) and cut our target price to SEK280 (305), based on a 2025e P/E of 12x (in line with the 10-year average). We expect adj. EPS to fall by 13% in 2025e, and have lowered our 2025–2026e adj. EBIT by 4–5%, now c16% below consensus, which we believe fails to reflect the ongoing price/mix normalisation. For Q1e, we are 7% below consensus on adj. EBIT (but roughly in line on orders and deliveries), and believe Volvo will lower its 2025 truck market guidance for North Am...
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 ...
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...

Although Q4’s soft underlying margin for Trucks supports our below-consensus view on 2025e margins, investors focused more on the solid order intake. However, with unchanged 2025 market guidance, we struggle to raise our 2025 volume forecasts and leave our estimates broadly unchanged, c7% below consensus on adj. EBIT. We reiterate our HOLD but have raised our target price to SEK305 (300).
