Cautious Optimism: Evaluating PowerCell Sweden AB’s Strong Q4 Amid Future Uncertainties

In a report released today, Constantin Hesse from Jefferies maintained a Hold rating on PowerCell Sweden AB (PCELF – Research Report), with a price target of SEK37.00.

Constantin Hesse has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors including PowerCell Sweden AB’s recent financial performance and the uncertainties that lie ahead. PowerCell Sweden AB reported a strong fourth quarter with sales surpassing expectations and a positive operating profit, marking a significant improvement from the previous year.
Despite these positive results, Constantin Hesse expresses caution due to the lack of visibility in future order intake, which remains a key concern. The company did not provide guidance for 2025 orders, which adds to the uncertainty despite management’s optimistic remarks about entering serial production. Furthermore, while the cash position has improved significantly due to a recent capital increase, the need for higher certainty in order intake makes the current valuation of 4x sales less compelling for a more favorable rating.
