Citi raised its target twice, from SEK 354 to SEK 358 and then to SEK 376, while keeping a Buy rating, and Erste Group initiated coverage with a Buy rating, citing a massive surge in new truck orders, particularly in North America, plus higher internal forecasts for truck sales in Europe and China.
