Saab Valuation Looks Full Despite Strong Growth Profile -- Market Talk

0714 GMT - Saab is a great business at a demanding price, AlphaValue analyst Saima Hussain writes. The Swedish company is one of Europe's few remaining full-spectrum sovereign defense groups, with its record backlog providing several years of activity coverage across its major business areas, Hussain says. The company's strong growth profile and strategic positioning justify a premium. However, that premium must also account for the capital intensity of the ramp-up, uneven divisional economics, milestone-dependent cash conversion and Saab's more limited geopolitical reach, Hussain adds. "The issue is not the quality of the asset, but the valuation: our target price leaves essentially no upside despite incorporating a premium for Saab's superior growth profile." AlphaValue initiates coverage of the stock with a reduce rating and a 593 Swedish kronor target price. Shares fall 0.8% to 577.60 kronor. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
