AAC Clyde Space - Strong progress delivered in Q123

AAC Clyde Space (AAC) has reported very strong progression in Q123, in part due to booking deferred revenues from FY22. Nevertheless, given the strength of both sales and EBITDA development taken together with a significant increase in the order backlog, our expectations of a transitional year for the company appear to be on track. With several more self-owned space data as a service (SDaaS) satellites expected to be launched in FY23, the development of the high-margin revenue stream should accelerate as the year progresses, improving cash flow. We maintain our estimates for FY23 and FY24, with both our DCF value of SEK8.2/share and a single-digit FY24 P/E of just 6.4x suggesting significant potential for investors.

AAC Clyde Space - Gathering momentum for FY24 lift-off

AAC Clyde Space's (AAC’s) Q323 report was encouraging, although it benefited from a large element of licence income without which the underlying progress was disappointing. The reason for that was summer shutdowns at suppliers and customers with some key revenue recognition deferred. However, since the start of Q423 there has been a tremendous order inflow worth around SEK200m. Much of this will start in FY24, supporting the significant acceleration of revenues towards the SEK500m targeted. That should accompany improving profitability and cash flows and lead to a reversal of recent declines i...

China Healthcare: A brighter outlook in 2024.

Easing pressure from the anti-corruption campaign will result in stronger sales growth for medical products. Moreover, after years of persistent R&D efforts, many Chinese biopharmaceutical companies now expect a fruitful year of innovation in 2024. In addition, potential US interest rate cuts will also provide liquidity for R&D investment and support the development of biotech and CRO segments in 2024. We expect a brighter outlook in 2024. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

AAC Clyde Space - Strong trading progress in H123

AAC Clyde Space made strong progress in H123, with revenues up 65% and positive EBITDA. While the mix is not as expected due to delays to some programmes deferring the start of SDaaS revenues to H223, the recent rights issue enables the company to accelerate investment in its own SDaaS satellites for launch next year. As high-margin SDaaS revenues should accelerate from H223, we expect AAC to become increasingly profitable and cash generative.

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.

Altron - Further margin expansion in H125

Altron reported a 105% y-o-y increase in operating profit before capital items in H125, with margin expansion of 5.1pp to 9.8%. The Platforms businesses were particularly strong, with Netstar and FinTech achieving material revenue and profit growth. Altron Digital Business, still in the integration phase, saw some non-recurring costs and the shift of several project starts into H225, but has seen indications that performance should improve in FY26. Management raised its FY26 operating profit target, partly to reflect the inclusion of Altron Document Solutions (ADS) in continuing operations. We...
