Swissquote : Impressive growth to continue but fairly priced in for now

Swissquote is a digital banking group and trading platform with Swiss roots and growing international operations. We see its success story to continue thanks to: 1/ double digit earnings growth and further margin expansion (2025-2028e CAGR for net profit guidance of 12% and a 2028 pre-tax margin of 55.5% (ODDO BHF est.) vs 52.6% expected in 2025 and 25% in 2018); 2/ a strong balance sheet (2025e capital ratio of c.23%), that could be used for further bolt-on acquisitions or to return “surplus” capital by 2027 at the latest; 3/ the combination of an innovative mindset of a tech company with a fully regulated Swiss bank. Nevertheless, at the current share price (impressive run of +1,514% since 2018), we see the company’s strong fundamentals and prospects fully priced in for now. Therefore, we are initiating coverage with a Neutral rating and a target price of CHF 555.
