What Sandvik does

Swedish maker of mining/rock excavation equipment, metal-cutting tools and advanced materials for industry.

Sells equipment and then earns recurring income on parts, wear tools and service for machines in the field; metal-cutting tools are consumables sold mainly through distributors to manufacturers. Mining equipment orders swing with miners' capital budgets. It spun off its stainless steel and special alloys business as Alleima in 2022.

In one line: A Swedish Caterpillar (mining)/Kennametal hybrid.

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrials
  • Mining equipment & industrial tools
  • Mining equipment, metal-cutting tools…

What could go right

  • Mining capex cycle (commodity demand)
  • Manufacturing automation/tooling demand

What could go wrong

  • Mining/industrial capex cyclicality
  • Raw material cost inflation

Moat: narrow (process know-how, installed base, customer qualification). Engineering expertise and a large installed equipment base drive recurring tooling/service revenue.
