Paradox Interactive (Buy, TP: SEK240.00) - 2025–2026e FCF story in sight

Q3 proved to be a fairly lacklustre event, but we believe investors are shifting focus towards material earnings and FCF improvements in 2025–2026. Continued capex reductions following cancelled projects together with a strong pipeline should drive a 2023–2026e FCF CAGR of 20%. We reiterate our BUY and SEK240 target price, with a 5% EBIT cut offset by our raised FCF.
