Atea (Buy, TP: NOK170.00) - Solid performance
Q1 gross profit and EBIT beat our above-consensus estimates, largely on a higher gross margin offsetting a slightly softer-than-expected top line and more opex than we expected. Furthermore, adjusted for FX losses, underlying earnings were well above our estimate and consensus. In short, we see this setting Atea up to track in line with our above-consensus estimates for 2025–2027 (which we have edged up) as well as multiples expansion. We reiterate our BUY, and have raised our target price to NOK170 (160).Atea is a Nordic and Baltic supplier of Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Co. delivers IT products from vendors.
