MTG (Buy, TP: SEK140.00) - Transformative 2025e

Following MTG’s acquisition of Plarium (cSEK6.7bn upfront price tag), EBITDA and FCF are set to double. We have raised our 2025–2026e adj. EBITDA by >100% but note the transformed financial position of the company as the net cash position now turns into net debt amid a struggle to grow organic sales. We have raised our target price to SEK140 (120) and reiterate our BUY.
