Is Epiroc (OM:EPI A) Fully Valued Following Its Kalmar Expansion And MMG Order?

Epiroc (OM:EPI A) just connected two concrete developments: a newly expanded, automated hydraulic attachment facility in Kalmar and a SEK 610 million underground equipment order from MMG in Botswana.

Most Popular Narrative: 4.2% Undervalued

Epiroc’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at SEK280.30, a touch above the latest SEK268.50 close. This frames the recent rally as not fully pricing in its thesis yet.

Continued investment in automation and digital features (automation for core drilling rigs, expansion in BEV technology, and growing connected fleet of ~15,000 machines) aligns with the mining sector's shift toward digitalization and productivity, likely increasing long-term recurring revenues from software, data, and aftermarket services, supporting future margin expansion.
