CFRA raises Sandvik stock rating to buy with SEK210 target

Wong’s outlook for Sandvik is bolstered by the company’s potential for solid dividend payments and strong cash generation capabilities. The company has raised its dividend for three consecutive years, currently offering a 2.2% yield, while maintaining a moderate debt level with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.5. These financial health indicators contribute to the analyst’s constructive view on Sandvik’s near-term prospects, despite some of the broader challenges faced by the industry.

The upgrade comes after a recent price correction in Sandvik’s shares, with the stock down about 8% over the past year. While the analyst acknowledges ongoing concerns about industrial weakness and tariff headwinds, especially in the automotive sector, he believes these issues will be largely mitigated by the company’s strong performance in its mining segments. The mining business is expected to benefit from sustained high prices for gold and copper. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a GOOD financial health score, with strong profitability metrics including a 41% gross margin.

In addition to the mining segment’s strength, Sandvik’s growing software portfolio, which promises a steady stream of recurring revenue, is seen as a positive factor. The company’s involvement in aerospace and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) solutions is also expected to take advantage of reshoring trends and increased defense spending in key markets.
