Meltwater (Buy, TP: NOK76.00) - Growth comes with costs

Meltwater yesterday published its Q3 results with headline figures (adjusted for one-offs) mostly in line with our forecasts and consensus (Q3 ARR pre-announced in October). Updated guidance for somewhat lower profitability in 2021 than we expected could be seen as a negative by the market, but we see the prioritising of growth near-term as a clear positive. We reiterate our BUY and NOK76 target price, and expect Friday’s CMD to be a share price catalyst.

Meltwater (Buy, TP: NOK76.00) - Favourable trends continue

While Q2 opex was higher than we expected, it was more than justified by the continued acceleration in Meltwater’s ARR growth noted in trading updates through Q3. We have raised our 2021–2023e ARR by 4–5%, but lowered our adj. EBITDA estimates to reflect likely near-term investments in growth. We reiterate our BUY and NOK76 target price.

Meltwater (Buy, TP: NOK76.00) - Premium segment accelerates

Meltwater continues to grow its Premium client segment, seeing accelerated expansion of the segment’s ARR by USD3.1m in March, implying growth of 18% YOY for Q1?. The latter was slightly above our expectation, and compares to 12% YOY in Q4 2020, in our view clearly showing that the company is progressing according to the plan and trajectory set out in conjunction with its IPO.
