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.
