Market sentiment

Sentiment remains neutral to slightly positive: insider buying supports confidence, but the higher capex increases concerns about lower near-term free cash flow.

Why HOLD ?

- **Hold**: defensive, cash-generative business with improving margins - Near-term upside depends on **Q1** and clearer volume recovery - Risk/reward looks balanced given maturity and competition
  • Hold current position; consider adding after Q1/Capital Markets Day if volumes and margins are confirmed.

Recent News

  • Since 2026-05-08, several insiders have bought shares: the CFO (May 8), the CHRO/HR head (May 8) and the CEO (May 11). Following the Capital Markets Day, Essity communicated a higher investment level (capex) from ~5% to 6% of sales (≈ +SEK 1.5bn), which initially weighed on the share price. The SEK 3bn buyback may start no earlier than May 11, 2026. The strategic review of Consumer Tissue (potential spin-off/sale) is ongoing and is expected to take ~6–12 months. Next report: Q2 on July 16, 2026.
