Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Mixed Q3
We consider this a mixed report for Bilia, including a stronger-than-expected service business offset by a weaker car business, resulting in in-line operating earnings. However, new car order intake was on the soft side, while bookings in its service workshops remain good. We expect consensus 2024e operating earnings to remain largely unchanged, but EPS to come down 3–4%. We expect a neutral share price reaction.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Recovery likely pushed to 2025
We are cautious ahead of the Q3 report, as a likely recovery in car earnings is pushed to 2025e, while we expect service earnings to be flattish on still-restrained consumer sentiment near-term. Nevertheless, with c+40% EPS growth in 2025e on a forecast new-car market recovery next year, we remain positive on the stock. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to SEK150 (160), mainly on lower estimates.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK160.00) - On the right track despite mixed Q2
While the car business’s operating earnings beat consensus on a recovering Norwegian market, the service business missed consensus by c8% with Sweden weighed down by start-up and implementation costs for workshop and new operations. We still expect high campaign activity to boost new car sales in Q3, and the used car and service business to perform well in H2. We reiterate our BUY and SEK160 target price.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK160.00) - Soft Q2
We consider this a weak report for Bilia, including operating earnings below consensus and somewhat soft new car order intake. We expect consensus 2024e operating earnings to come down c2–4% on the back of the report and expect a negative share price reaction.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK160.00) - Expecting resilient service business i...
We are neutral on Bilia’s Q2 results (due at 07:00 CET on 18 July), expecting still-strong results in the service business to offset the earnings headwind in its car business given weak Nordic consumer sentiment. We believe investor focus will be on comments on the timing of a market recovery (we expect H2), and continue to see earnings momentum in 2025. We reiterate our BUY, and have raised our target price to SEK160 (148) after rolling forward our valuation to 2025–2026e.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK148.00) - Inflection point for new car orders
While management had flagged that Q1 was likely to be soft, operating earnings just beat our estimate. The key positive in the report was underlying order intake (after seven consecutive quarterly declines), helped by a recovery in Norway. We expect high campaign activity to extend the trend in Q2, along with still stable demand for service operations. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK148 (145).
- Simen Aas
Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK145.00) - A turning point in new car orders
We consider this a positive report for Bilia, including operating earnings slightly above consensus, strong organic growth for its service business and positive order intake for new cars (after seven quarters of decline) as Norway looks to be recovering. We expect consensus 2024e operating earnings to come up c1–3% on the back of the report and expect a positive share price reaction.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK145.00) - Turnaround in car orders needed
We are cautious ahead of the Q1 results given the still-weak consumer sentiment. As we expect fewer car deliveries YOY in Q1, and that order intake will likely still be negative, we believe investor focus will be on any comments regarding a market recovery (we currently expect H2). We reiterate our BUY and SEK145 target price on fairly unchanged estimates.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK145.00) - Car recovery delayed to H2 2024e
Q4 marked the end of a tough year for Bilia, with operating earnings down c15% YOY, mainly driven by car earnings, as service proved surprisingly resilient (comprising c77% of group earnings). With a new car recovery likely delayed from H1 to H2, we have cut our 2024–2025e operating earnings by c3–2%. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target to SEK145 (150).
- Simen Aas
Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Mixed Q4
We consider this a mixed report for Bilia, including operating earnings slightly above consensus, while underlying order intake was a tad soft, and a lower than expected DPS. We expect consensus 2024e adj. EBIT to come up c0–2% on the back of the report and believe a neutral share price reaction is warranted.
- Simen Aas
Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Focus shifting to 2024–2025e
We are cautious ahead of Bilia’s Q4 results, mostly driven by still-weak consumer sentiment hindering its retail car business. We expect focus on new car orders and backlog, and service operations’ growth. We reiterate our BUY, but have raised our target price to SEK150 (130) as we have rolled our valuation to 2024–2025e.
