Electrification is taking a break
The share price has recovered slightly and the first tranche of the dividend has been paid, which means that the upside potential has shrunk. At the same time, we have made negative revisions to the Q1 earnings forecast due to the Olkiluoto 3 problems and lower electricity prices, which has weakened the risk/reward of the stock. In our view, the long-term outlook is still good, but the electrification megatrend appears to be taking a pause in the downturn.
