What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
For SSAB, Citi and Morgan Stanley sit at the top of the recent price target range, with Citi moving from SEK 106 to SEK 110 and then to SEK 120, and Morgan Stanley lifting its view from SEK 100 to SEK 115. This clusters the more optimistic valuation views around and above the current fair value estimate.
-
Citi keeps a Buy rating and Morgan Stanley keeps an Overweight rating. That signals confidence in SSAB's ability to execute on its current plan and support valuations closer to the upper end of the SEK 110 to SEK 120 bracket.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan have adjusted price targets higher, but their ratings stay more cautious. Deutsche Bank maintains Hold with targets of SEK 87, SEK 90 and then SEK 98, while JPMorgan stays Neutral with targets at SEK 81, SEK 94 and SEK 95.
-
These Hold and Neutral stances indicate that some analysts see SSAB as fairly valued within a tighter band below SEK 100, and want clearer evidence on execution and growth prospects before moving closer to the bullish SEK 115 to SEK 120 levels.
