Paradox Interactive (Hold, TP: SEK195.00) - Premium for a reason

We reiterate our HOLD and SEK195 target price ahead of the Q3 results (due at 08:00 CET on 1 November). We expect a strong report, with revenue up 47% YOY, and have raised our 2022–2023e EPS by 5–7%, mainly due to positive FX (USD appreciation) more than offsetting somewhat higher market risk. However, in our view, Paradox’s resilient business model and loyal customer base look fairly well reflected in the share price and the valuation premium.
