Paradox Interactive (Buy, TP: SEK260.00) - A return to form

Q4 saw a significant earnings beat, as Paradox released DLC for all its core franchises. While variability between quarters is set to continue, we believe the quarter showcased the company’s strong earnings power, and we see potential for positive revisions as the pipeline matures and DLC cadence increases. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK260 (250) reflecting our raised estimates.
