Blue Cap AG : An opportunity to invest in SME growth stories

Blue Cap AG is an investment company with a buy, transform & sell business model focusing on SMEs in special situations, which gives investors the opportunity to participate in its proven track record of restructuring SMEs. Based on the company’s growing revenues (2024-2026e CAGR of 3.5%) and adj. EBITDA margin (+250bp, 2023 vs 2026e), as well as its sound financial profile (equity ratio of about 40%, average annual FCF of c. € 10.9m), we initiate coverage with an Outperform recommendation and a target price of € 26.5. We believe that its potential intensive M&A activities with regular divestments and reinvestment of the proceeds are not reflected in the current share price.
