Another View: What Ericsson’s P/E Is Really Saying

Analysts calling Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson 5% overvalued on a SEK100 fair value are leaning on future cash flow assumptions. The current picture from earnings multiples is more mixed. The shares trade on a P/E of 17.7x, just above the European Communications average of 17.5x, yet below a fair ratio of 23.7x that the market could move toward over time. That gap suggests limited downside protection if sentiment cools, but also room for re rating if execution and cash generation line up with expectations. Which side of that trade off do you think matters more for your own thesis?
