AcadeMedia AB (Buy, TP: SEK75.00) - European pre-school opportunity
FY 2018/19 turned out worse than we had envisaged for AcadeMedia, but we see promising signs in the stronger focus on European pre-school roll-outs and a clearer capital allocation. Our 6–9% EPS cuts risk diverting investors’ attention from the long-term opportunity, at an attractive valuation, which AcadeMedia represents. We reiterate our BUY and SEK75 target price.AcadeMedia AB is a Sweden-based holding company, which operates through its subsidiaries, primarily via AcadeMedia Group AB.
