UBS upgrades EQT stock rating to Buy on private markets recovery

Investing.com - UBS upgraded EQT AB (ST:EQTAB) (EQT:SS) (OTC:EQBBF) from Sell to Buy and raised its price target to SEK360.00 from SEK230.00, citing the company’s exposure to recovering private markets deal activity.

The upgrade comes ahead of EQT’s first-half results scheduled for July 17, which UBS expects to be a positive catalyst for the stock. The investment bank anticipates EQT will likely beat consensus PRE (proportionate revenue equivalent) expectations.

UBS analyst Haley Tam noted signs that industry trends are improving and highlighted that EQT has maintained active deal-making throughout the second quarter despite market volatility.

The firm’s bullish outlook is partially tempered by some near-term challenges, including a weaker U.S. dollar that will create headwinds for second-quarter returns.

UBS also cautioned that it sees limited potential for fundraising surprises in the near term, despite the overall positive outlook for the Swedish private equity firm.
