AcadeMedia AB (Buy, TP: SEK92.00) - Finding bolt-on acquisitions again

Q1 was in line with our forecasts, showing growth across all segments. We see a solid demand outlook, driving growth, and an attractive valuation (2024/25–2026/27e FCF yield of 15–20%), with AcadeMedia back in acquisition mode (four bolt-ons in Q1) and the now recurring share redemption programme (SEK300m) addressing its weak track record in capital allocation. We see the potential for a continued re-rating and reiterate our BUY and SEK92 target price.
