What the Analysts think about Essity AB
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Essity AB stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Essity AB stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The cost-saving programme is beginning to support earnings. Essity says Q2 adjusted EBITA was broadly stable year on year despite cost inflation, while savings in goods, selling and administration costs are expected to build through the second half. (Essity, StockAnalysis)
The North American feminine-care acquisition gives Essity a stronger platform in an attractive category. Management says it nearly doubles the company’s Personal Care presence in North America, while Q2 Personal Care delivered 3.8% organic growth on strong volumes and mix. (Essity, Nonwovens Industry)
Raw-material inflation is likely to squeeze margins before price increases fully reach customers. Goldman Sachs expects Q3 pricing to lag high-single-digit unit-cost inflation, while Jefferies expects higher pulp costs and a clear earnings hit in the second half. (Investing.com, MarketScreener)
Consumer Tissue remains a material weak spot. Q2 organic sales fell as both prices and volumes declined, and UBS warns that a disposal could be operationally complex because shared infrastructure may leave stranded costs and dissynergies. (Essity, Investing.com)
The turnaround is not yet broad enough to meet Essity’s growth ambitions. Q2 organic sales growth was only 0.3%, while Baby Care remained difficult and the newly acquired feminine-care business temporarily diluted Personal Care margins through integration costs. (Essity, Nonwovens Industry)
