Paradox Interactive (Buy, TP: SEK240.00) - Sector-leading FCF growth story

We believe the market is increasingly willing to look past a 2024 plagued by cancellations and postponements and focus on the core portfolio and return to earnings growth for 2025e. While we have lowered our 2025e EBIT by 5%, we have increased our 2025–2026e FCF by 5–8% to account for the improving capex profile. We reiterate our BUY and SEK240 target price ahead of the Q3 results.
