Paradox Interactive (Hold, TP: SEK300.00) - Back-end-heavy H2e
We reiterate our HOLD but have raised our target price to SEK300 (280) after the solid Q2 results, including 9–14% EBIT beats versus our estimate and consensus. We have increased our 2024e sales and EBIT by 6% each, but believe H2e earnings are likely to be skewed towards Q4e. While we see several positives in Paradox’s outlook, we find them well reflected in consensus of a 2024 EV/EBIT of c25x.Paradox Interactive AB (publ) is a Sweden-based company engaged in the development and publishing of personal computer (PC)-based strategy games.
