MTG (Buy, TP: SEK410.00) - Digital and pricing success visible

We have raised our target price to SEK410 (350) to reflect our increased estimates for Nordic Entertainment and our new SOTP (2019e). The transformation to digital media is paying off, and digital should soon be near 50% of revenue (2020e), we believe. MTGx’s route to profits has only just begun; delivery will be crucial for the earnings growth case and upside potential for the shares in our view. Our recommendation remains BUY.
