Fortnox (Buy, TP: SEK85.00) - Thesis intact

From the Q1 results, we were encouraged by: 1) ARR growth of 50% YOY (17% QOQ); 2) an incremental margin of 48%; and 3) FCF adjusted for its lending business growing by 90% YOY, underpinning its compounding dynamics and ample margin expansion potential. Despite the shares’ strong performance YTD (+49%), we remain bullish on Fortnox as one of the few software stocks with financials that should improve YOY despite concerns about a softer macro environment in 2023e (36%+ organic growth YOY at 42% EBIT margin), with a durable growth runway to compress its valuation multiples. We reiterate our BUY and SEK85 target price.
