Kepler Cheuvreux upgraded Bilia to Buy on Friday, lifting its target price to SEK 170 from SEK 160, according to MarketScreener. The move reverses a prior cautious stance — the firm had previously cut its target to SEK 125 and held a Hold rating on the Swedish car retailer.
The upgrade signals renewed confidence in Bilia's growth potential and a better risk-reward balance. Handelsbanken also raised its Bilia target to SEK 165 and kept a Buy rating, adding weight to the bullish shift.
Kepler Cheuvreux Makes a Sharp U-Turn on Bilia
Kepler Cheuvreux's move is notable because it reversed a bearish call. The firm had slashed its Bilia target to SEK 125 and sat on a Hold before Friday's upgrade, per MarketScreener. The new SEK 170 target represents a 36% jump from that prior level.
The firm cited improved growth prospects and a more favorable risk-reward setup. Bilia operates car dealerships across Scandinavia. Analysts now appear to believe the company's fundamentals justify a higher price than previously thought.
Multiple Analysts Now Back Bilia With Higher Targets
Handelsbanken's raised target of SEK 165 closely mirrors Kepler's new level. Both firms are now aligned on a Buy stance. That kind of agreement between brokers often signals broader market confidence in a stock's direction.
These updates are part of a wider pattern of analysts reassessing European equities. Ratings are built using a composite framework. It averages Returns, Profitability, Quality of Financial Reporting, and Financial Health — and requires at least two ratings for a stock to qualify for inclusion, according to MarketScreener.
Kepler Also Raises SEB Target But Turns Cautious
Not every Kepler move this week was bullish. The firm raised its price target for Swedish bank SEB to SEK 168 but moved the rating down to Hold, per MarketScreener. The firm pointed to strong recent performance and shifting investor preferences as reasons for the more cautious stance.
The SEB move shows analysts are being selective. They are not upgrading everything. Instead, they are picking winners and trimming expectations where stocks have already run up in price.
Mixed Signals Elsewhere: Volati Cut, Billerud Lifted
DNB Carnegie trimmed its target for Volati to SEK 27 from SEK 29 and kept a Hold rating, signaling continued caution on the Swedish holding company, according to MarketScreener. At the same time, the firm raised Billerud's target to SEK 80 from SEK 73 and kept a Buy — a split view even within the same market.
DNB Carnegie also raised targets for Lyko to SEK 87 from SEK 63 with a Hold, and lifted Solstad Offshore to 80 Norwegian kroner from 75, reiterating Buy. Together, these moves show analysts are actively recalibrating across Scandinavian equities — not just rubber-stamping old views.
