Ambea (Buy, TP: SEK73.00) - Share buybacks added
Q3 was close to our expectations, with solid sales growth and FCF. The company sent a strong message of FCF remaining robust, adding a 5m share buyback ambition, which largely balanced the slower phasing of new units and progress in Denmark, on our updated forecasts. We still like the demand outlook combined with Ambea’s asset-light growth and cash-generating model, with an attractive valuation (2022–2024e FCF yield of 12–17%). We reiterate our BUY and SEK73 target price.Ambea AB (publ) is a Sweden-based holding company within the care provider group.
