MTG (Hold, TP: SEK85.00) - Pressure on H2 recovery

We have cut our target price to SEK85 (90) and reiterate our HOLD after reducing our 2023e EBITDA by 5% following the soft Q1 report (-11% organic growth YOY). Our updated forecast is slightly below the 2023 guidance of -3% to +2% organic growth YOY and adj. EBITDA margin of 23–25%. In our view, there is still uncertainty around its ability to achieve organic growth and margin improvements in H2 in a still-uncertain market for mobile gaming.
