Assa Abloy Earnings: Off to a Tepid Start in 2024 Amid Still-Tight Financial Conditions

Grant Slade

Wide-moat Assa Abloy is off to a slow start in 2024 with demand for its locking and physical access systems weakening in the first quarter. First-quarter organic revenue growth for the group softened by 2% year on year, tracking broadly in line with our full-year estimates that factor in headwinds from subdued construction activity in 2024. Organic sales for each of the group’s Americas, European, and Asia-Pacific opening solutions segments—which together account for roughly 50% of group earnings—declined in the range of 1% to 3%. Sales fell more significantly for Assa Abloy’s global technologies segment, down 9% organically in the first quarter.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Electromechanical locking system adoption rates are rising. As the global industry leader, Assa Abloy is ideally positioned to capitalise on the consequent expansion of the industry profit pool.

Bears

As Assa Abloy expands its presence in specialised doors—via its entrance systems division—it increases its exposure to a lower-profit-margin, lower-return segment of the market.
