Although the transaction was completed nearly two years ago, accounting changes after Brexit delayed the publication of the Prospectus and the listing of the additional shares for trading.

Hybrid Software Group Record year with further growth into 2026 expect...

Revenues for the year come in below expectations, mainly due to the subdued start to the year. Bottom-line numbers also below expectations, but to a significant extend explained by negative FX impact, which should largely normalize going forward. While overall 2025 was a record year for HYSG, we expect solid growth into 2026 with potentially some further upside from M&A when the large cash balance is put to work. We reiterate our Buy recommendation and the €5.5 TP.

Hybrid Software Group Stronger pipeline & cost efficiencies triggering...

As of 2Q25-3Q25 HYSG saw a significantly improved environment, resulting in an uptick of organic growth. Expecting solid 4Q25 results and a positive short term pipeline, we increased our FY26 expected revenues by 6%, with continued growth going forward. Operational leverage is increasingly evident, with cost efficiencies driving broadbased EBITDA strength and supporting sustainable margins above 25%, trending toward 28% longer term. Limited macro risks, a selective bolton M&A strategy backed by ...

Hybrid Software Group Strong 3Q update; record sales in Enterprise Sof...

Hybrid Software Group published their limited 3Q trading update. After a tough 1H25, the company has turned the page with a significant uptick in sales and, more importantly, very strong margins. At these levels HYSG is well on track to beat our FY operating & net result estimates. We keep our TP on €5.0 for now and comfortably reiterate our Buy recommendation.

Hybrid Software Group Tough comps continue, but positive outlook for 2...

1H25 is seeing tough comps from a large Printing Software contract signing in 1Q24 and the uptick in business in 2Q24 triggered by the Drupa trading fair. The gap to our estimates seen in 1Q25 continues in todays half-year results. Management is confident on the sales pipeline going forward, with comps significantly more benign in 2H25. We expect the second half of the year to be much stronger for Hybrid Software Group, reiterating out Buy recommendation.
