AB Volvo (Trucks, Construction Equipment) is mid-cycle with North American Class 8 truck orders rolling over into the EPA 2027 emissions pre-buy period. European truck demand remains weak. The Electromobility platform is gaining traction in regional haul but volumes remain modest. Mack Trucks and Renault Trucks operations provide diversification. Mid-cycle margins are structurally higher than prior cycles (~15%) due to better pricing discipline. Capital return supports an attractive total return profile.
