Context and risks
SKF is an industrial with exposure to interest rates and the global supply chain. The rise in 10-year yields (5.17%) and the strong dollar affect its valuation of future cash flows and the competitiveness of its exports. Geopolitical tension in the Middle East and shipping routes (Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb) adds risk to its supply chain, although it is not its main market.

Verdict: Hold. Solid financial health and growth justify the position, but demanding valuation and potential lack of growth sustainability limit upside.
Main risk: The main risk is the sustainability of earnings growth (145%), which could reverse if industrial demand slows, especially in the automotive sector, a key market for SKF.
