Embracer Group (Buy, TP: SEK100.00) - Slight cash-flow improvement likely

We have lowered our target price to SEK100 (105) to reflect a c5% cut to our adj. 2023/24e EBIT but reiterate our BUY ahead of the Q3 results (due at 06:00 CET on 16 February). We still expect H2, and especially Q4, to be an inflection point for cash flow supported by e.g. Tabletop and transformative platform deals. For 2023/24, Embracer expects to release four AAA games, starting with the long-awaited ‘Dead Island 2’ in Q1, likely supporting medium-term organic growth.
