What the Analysts think about Clas Ohlson AB
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Clas Ohlson AB stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Clas Ohlson AB stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
September sales rose 12% organically, with comparable sales up 10% and growth across all markets; organic sales were up 11% over May–September. This points to demand that is not solely explained by acquisitions or currency movements. (Nasdaq)
First-quarter operating profit rose to SEK 393 million from SEK 278 million, while the operating margin reached 12% and free cash flow increased to SEK 363 million. The results suggest sales growth is translating into stronger earnings and cash generation. (MFN)
Online sales grew 35% in the first quarter and accounted for 22% of sales, while the store network added nine locations year on year. Continued growth across both channels gives the company more ways to reach customers. (MFN)
Management said sharply higher freight prices from Asia to Europe are expected to affect costs from the third and fourth quarters. That could put pressure on margins after a strong first-quarter result. (MFN)
Clas Ohlson has stopped forward currency hedging, saying it mainly shifts rather than removes exposure. This leaves earnings more exposed to exchange-rate swings as the remaining contracts mature. (MFN)
Pareto judged the shares fairly valued after the company set targets it saw as more cautious than expected, cutting its price target and EBIT estimates. Its note put forward EV/EBIT at 12.5 times, against 10.6 times for Nordic retail peers, leaving room for disappointment if growth slows. (MarketScreener)
