Estimates and outlook
On numbers alone, '23e sales come up +3% and adj. EBIT comes down -2%. Freemelt is still in a development phase, and multiple actions were undertaken in the quarter to support the move into a more commercial phase, such as establishing an American subsidiary and recruiting key personnel. The company also announced its 2030 strategy, which comprises becoming a billion SEK company, and emphasises services and aftermarket sales, which it plans will constitute 25% of revenue by then.

Valuation
The share is down -13% YTD (vs. OMXSPI +6%), and is currently trading at 9-3x '23e-'25e EV/Sales on our pre-report estimates.Deviation tableSource: ABG Sundal Collier Estimates, Company Data, FactSet EstimatesFactSet consensus
