Reports on H. Lundbeck A/S

Rune Majlund Dahl
  • Rune Majlund Dahl

Lundbeck (Buy, TP: DKK44.00) - New guidance structure

Q4 sales and EBITDA missed our forecasts as strategic brands sales were soft. The 2024 guidance was also soft but in a new better structure, we believe, for revenue growth of 7–10% CER (-4% in DKK) and adj. EBITDA growth of 10–16% in CER (-9% in DKK). We also note the decision to move Lu AF82422 into phase III in MSA. We reiterate our BUY and DKK44 target price.

Lundbeck (Buy, TP: DKK44.00) - Focus on guidance and M&A

We expect Lundbeck to reach the high end of its 2023 guidance, and forecast Q4 revenue of DKK5,111m and adj. EBITDA of DKK929m. For 2024, we look for continued good growth across strategic brands (we forecast 12.9%), and we believe investors will focus on the M&A agenda to strengthen the late-stage pipeline. We expect the 2024 guidance to be for revenue of DKK21.0bn–21.6bn and EBITDA of DKK5.7bn–6.3bn. We reiterate our BUY and DKK44 target price.

Lundbeck (Buy, TP: DKK44.00) - Focus on progressing the pipeline

At Lundbeck’s R&D event in London yesterday, focus was on pipeline progression and its R&D commitment. Lundbeck believes two of the six discussed pipeline candidates could reach the market in 2029. In the coming years, we expect increased focus on acquisitions to strengthen the late-stage pipeline to facilitate timely new product launches before the ‘patent cliff’ (we estimate in 2029). We reiterate our BUY and DKK44 target price.

Lundbeck (Buy, TP: DKK44.00) - R&D event ahead

Despite a Q3 revenue miss, Lundbeck has narrowed its 2023 revenue guidance to DKK19.8bn–20.1bn but raised adj. EBITDA to DKK5.6bn–5.8bn, reflecting the Q3 beat on lower R&D costs. We expect the R&D event due on 30 November to be an eye-opener, as we believe most investors have assigned limited value to the pipeline. We reiterate our BUY and target price of DKK44.

Lundbeck (Buy, TP: DKK44.00) - Another increase to guidance likely

We expect Q3 top-line growth of 8.7% YOY (consensus 7.8%), driven by strategic brands, for which we forecast sales growth of 10.5% YOY, and an EBIT margin of 16.5% versus consensus of 15.5% (results due at 07:00 CET on 8 November). We expect the company to raise its 2023 guidance for revenue to DKK19.9bn–20.2bn (from DKK19.5bn–20.1bn) and for adj. EBITDA to DKK5.4bn–5.7bn (from DKK5.2bn–5.6bn). We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to DKK44 (41).
