Cyclical concerns vs. cloud growth

The 9-month figures of All for One Group AG (ISIN DE0005110001, Prime Standard, A1OS GY) showed 7% revenue growth, with revenues from Cloud Services and Support increasing even faster, by 18%. The ratio of recurring revenue to total revenue rose to a new high of 48%. However, the general cyclical slowdown is becoming more visible at some of All for One Group's established customers (especially in the mechanical engineering and automotive sectors). With deferral of projects becoming more common, it is harder for the group to maintain a high level of staff utilisation. As a result, the EBIT guidance for 2018/19 has been revised downwards. We have therefore reduced our EBIT expectation, which was at the lower end of the previous guidance. However, it seems that the cyclical slowdown had already been largely priced into the share. Looking at fundamentals, shares in All for One remain inexpensive (EV/sales multiple: 0.51; EV/EBIT multiple: 9.4) because the company has not altered its medium-term targets and growth in new customer business remains intact.

Our price target for the All for One Group share, equally based on DCF valuation and peer group analysis, is €69.20. We reiterate our “Buy” rating.
