Embracer Group (Buy, TP: SEK38.00) - Stormy but in a better position
We have lowered our target price to SEK38 (43) after a 9% cut to our 2024/25e group EBIT (weaker than expected PC/Console delivery and near-term outlook), but reiterate our BUY as we expect better FCF and still see a high probability of a potential divestment, which should improve the balance sheet materially. We acknowledge the low investor confidence, but believe the company is in better shape after the restructuring.Embracer Group AB, formerly THQ Nordic AB is a Sweden-based company engaged in the computer games development.
