Björn Borgista keskustelua ruotsiksi, tuohon saa onneksi siedettävän tekstityksen muullakin kielellä, jos ruotsia ei taida.
Björn Borgin Henrik Bunge oli @lucas.mattsson:in haastateltavana.
Björn Borg publicerade idag sin Q4-rapport, som visar stark tillväxt men ett minskat rörelseresultat. Head Coach Henrik Bunge intervjuas av analytiker Lucas Mattsson, där de diskuterar helåret 2024, fokus på tillväxt eller lönsamhet, hur mår konsumenterna och dessutom lyfts vad investerare bör hålla ögonen på under 2025.
Björn Borg delivered weak Q4 earnings due to a lower gross margin and higher operating expenses, which more than offset the benefits of strong revenue growth. The company’s earnings multiples for this year are at the upper end of our acceptable valuation range, with a P/E ratio of approximately 18x and an EV/EBIT of ~14x. At current valuations, we would like to see clearer evidence that the company can successfully expand its footwear category while maintaining solid profitability. Based on our updated estimates, we believe the stock is relatively fairly valued. As a result, we lower our recommendation to Reduce (prev. Accumulate) and adjust our target price to SEK 62 per share, primarily due to revised estimates.
Linkin takaa on hyvin tiiviis analyysi kalsareista.
Björn Borg (“Björn Borg”, “the Company” or “the Group”) is a well-established and renowned company with a rich history spanning decades, earning the place as a favored brand among a broad consumer base. Nevertheless, the predominant association of Björn Borg with underwear presents a compelling challenge: to transition consumer perception from an underwear brand to a sports fashion brand. This strategic shift, central to the Company’s vision since 2014, has already yielded noteworthy progress, as amplified marketing investments and a strengthened brand have driven strong growth in Sports Apparel and Footwear. Analyst Group estimates an attractive growth trajectory on the horizon, supporting a gradual improvement in margins. The forecasted EBIT for 2025 stands at SEK 124m (131), and by applying a forward EV/EBIT multiple of 12.0x (12.0), this presents a potential value of SEK 58.4 (61.3) per share in a Base scenario.
We have lowered our estimates in response to expectations of slower economic growth and weaker consumer confidence. Despite these downward revisions the current valuation offers an attractive risk/reward profile, as the share price has fallen by around -17% and the expected return exceeds our required return. Consequently, we raise our recommendation to Accumulate (prev. Reduce) but lower our target price to SEK 55 per share (prev. SEK 62), mainly due to lower estimates.
Itse olen seurantalinjalla tämän putiikin kanssa. Kalsareita menee kaupan sellaisella kilohinnalla, että ei ihme, että oman pääoman tuotto on yli 20% lukemissa. Tämän kyytiin hyppäämistä estää itsellä se, että Marimekko vaikuttaa ainakin lukujen valossa laadukkaammalta firmalta
