Gentoo Media: one step back, two steps forward (stays BUY)

We maintain our BUY rating on Gentoo Media (Gentoo), but cut our 12M price target (PT) to SEK 26.2 (from SEK 35.5), implying c.89% upside. The share price took a major hit after the disappointing 1Q25 results, which have led to a significant reduction in our estimates. In our view, Gentoo experienced a perfect storm, suffering significantly from changes in Brazilian regulations, elevated G&A costs and the discontinuation of unprofitable campaigns. We believe a recovery is on the horizon, with revenue growth of 10% yoy in 2026E and an EBITDA margin of 44.5%, driven by normalisation of the Brazilian market, healthy scaling of the paid segment and cost-saving initiatives. We remind clients that Gentoo operates in a highly-fragmented market, with the Top-5 players accounting for c.10% of the market. This provides significant room for consolidation. The company trades currently at a 6.4x 2026E P/E, which offers a 36% discount to its international peers.
