Assa Abloy Pricing Strength Delivers Strong Margins in Q4; Shares Attractively Priced
Wide-moat Assa Abloy beat the fourth-quarter company-provided consensus operating profit margin, as well as our forecasts, which led to a 5% rally in shares at the time of writing. Shares looks attractively priced compared with our SEK 300 fair value estimate. The 15.7% operating profit margin for the group expanded by 80 basis points year over year despite a 60-basis-point headwind from the extraordinary inflationary environment. Fourth-quarter revenue growth was strong with a 10% organic increase, with operating leverage also helping margin improvement.
