Market sentiment
Near-term sentiment has weakened after the Q1 miss and sell-off; attention is on Axfood not outgrowing the market and on margin/price-competition risk at Willys, while Hemköp’s stronger performance and overall stable profitability provide some support.
Why HOLD ?
- **HOLD** given a high-quality, defensive business with stable cash flows.
- However, **execution risk** remains in the City Gross turnaround and capital intensity from investments.
- Valuation is cited as relatively high in parts of the research, potentially limiting upside until margin/City Gross progress is clearer.
- Hold. Consider adding after the Q1 report if City Gross trends improve.
Recent News
- Since 2026-04-06, Axfood released its Q1 2026 interim report (2026-04-23) with net sales of SEK 21,595m and adjusted EBIT of SEK 812m, both below consensus, contributing to a sharp share price drop (~8–9%) on the day. The company continues logistics/automation investments (including an initial payment related to the Kungsbacka project) and continues the City Gross turnaround (targeting profitability during 2026). Also: a board decision to repurchase up to 400,000 shares for LTIP 2026, plus minor items such as a product recall (Garant Chili Cheese Nuggets) and an inclusion initiative (Forum för innanförskap).
