Stockholm, Sweden – Sinch AB (publ) – XSTO: SINCH

In response to uncertainty around Covid-19, Sinch management has initiated a range of precautionary initiatives to protect employees and ensure maintained service delivery in all circumstances. The direct financial impact of Covid-19 currently remains limited on an overall level. Messaging volumes are developing as expected. In terms of negative effects, these are concentrated to the smaller Voice & Video segment where travel restrictions in select markets is causing decreased voice volumes of number masking services to ride hailing companies.

Sinch (Buy, TP: SEK215.00) - Approaching market dominance

We believe this year’s acquisitions have been very strategic in nature, building new verticals in voice and e-mail and a presence in the developer and SMB markets. In our view, Sinch is developing a global market-leading position alongside Twilio. We are c5% above post-Q2 consensus on gross profit and EBITDA ahead of the Q3 report. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK215 (190).
