Ambea (Hold, TP: SEK72.00) - Deep pockets and deep value
We like the Ambea mid-term, non-cyclical growth case, underpinned by its size, good business mix and strong FCF-generating nature of its asset-light business model. However, we see modest revenue growth in 2018 and a private equity ownership overhang from its recent IPO, and believe perceived political risk ahead of this autumn’s general election in Sweden is keeping the stock in deep value territory. We initiate coverage with a HOLD recommendation and target price of SEK72.Ambea AB (publ) is a Sweden-based holding company within the care provider group.
