Actic Group AB (Hold, TP: SEK30.00) - Proof is in eating the pudding

Actic’s implementation of IFRS16 required a number of interactions with management to clarify the underlying trend. Although 2019 now looks to be more of a transition year, its underlying FCF capacity remains a hallmark even as the weak membership growth weighs on our forecasts. We have downgraded to HOLD (BUY) and cut our target price to SEK30 (43). However, a 2020e 11.5% FCF yield or (14.0% pre-expansion capex) highlights the mid-term attraction.
