Ericsson ERIC
Ericsson is a Swedish multinational that designs, manufactures, and sells telecommunications equipment, software, and services for mobile network operators and enterprises, being one of the world's leading providers of 5G infrastructure. Ericsson shows an attractive valuation (P/E 12.88, FCF yield 9.91%) and solid quality (ROE 26.08%), but growth is weak (revenue -6.10%) and Morgan Stanley's warning on telecom spending adds pressure. The market is already pricing in some of this pessimism, but the risk of continued weak growth limits upside potential.

Context and risks
The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) and the weakness in the technology sector due to AI concerns pressure Ericsson's valuation, a long-duration company with a forward P/E of 15.39. However, the effect is moderate and already partially priced in.

Verdict: Hold. Valuation is reasonable and quality is good, but the lack of growth and pressure on operator spending justify waiting for an improvement in prospects before increasing the position.
Main risk: The main risk is the slowdown in capital expenditure by telecom operators, which is already reflected in negative revenue and earnings growth, and could persist if the high interest rate environment continues.
