Hybrid Software Group Strong 3Q update; record sales in Enterprise Sof...

Hybrid Software Group published their limited 3Q trading update. After a tough 1H25, the company has turned the page with a significant uptick in sales and, more importantly, very strong margins. At these levels HYSG is well on track to beat our FY operating & net result estimates. We keep our TP on €5.0 for now and comfortably reiterate our Buy recommendation.

Hybrid Software Group Tough comps continue, but positive outlook for 2...

1H25 is seeing tough comps from a large Printing Software contract signing in 1Q24 and the uptick in business in 2Q24 triggered by the Drupa trading fair. The gap to our estimates seen in 1Q25 continues in todays half-year results. Management is confident on the sales pipeline going forward, with comps significantly more benign in 2H25. We expect the second half of the year to be much stronger for Hybrid Software Group, reiterating out Buy recommendation.

Management remains positive on 2025, highlighting healthy sales funnels across all segments.

Hybrid Software Group Goodwill impairments offset profitability improv...

HYSG reported top-line growth for FY24, but below our expectations. 6.2m of goodwill impairments, mainly on the Labels & Packaging business, results in a net loss for the year. HYSG has made profitability improvements, which will continue into FY25. Although our gross profit expectations going forward seem too ambitious, increased profitability could compensate. HYSG now also has a 3m net cash position that could be leveraged further to generation additional value, beyond the ongoing 1m SBB. We...

Hybrid Software Group A €1 million share buyback announced

Hybrid Software Group announced a €1m share buyback as it believes the current share price is not reflecting the intrinsic value of the company. We fully follow this reasoning, given the 33% upside to our target price.
