We expect Q2 results (due at 07:30 CET on 19 July) to be similar to Q1’s, and forecast 4% organic gross profit growth (3% in Q1). We are largely in line with consensus on sales, gross profit and EBITDA, and estimate stable cash-flow generation of SEK400m. We reiterate our BUY and SEK45 target price.
Q1 again disappointed on growth; organic gross profit growth was only 3% YOY, a level management expects to maintain throughout 2024. However, we believe Sinch is valued as a company without growth and see the current valuation offering good risk/reward. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to SEK45 (52).
With a new reporting structure, focus will be on headline numbers (the Q1 report is due at 07:30 CET on 7 May). We forecast 6% organic gross profit growth YOY, and we believe this is about in line with consensus. We reiterate our BUY and SEK52 target price.
Due to easier comparables, we expect a return to low-single-digit organic net sales and gross profit growth in Q4. We are largely in line with consensus for Q4e, but expect consensus to be lowered on the back of negative FX. With the stronger SEK, all else being equal, we have cut our 2024e sales, gross profit, and EBITDA by c6%. We reiterate our BUY and SEK52 target price.
Apple has announced it will support RCS Universal Profile later in 2024. RCS will work alongside Apple’s own solution iMessage. We believe the interoperability between Android and Apple users could support a higher growth outlook for the Messaging segment, which represents c40% of Sinch’s 2024e gross profit.
The Q3 report continued to show weak revenue trends affected by the macro economy, but Sinch had tight cost control. Due to net working capital rebounding from the negative in H1, FCF yield in Q3 alone was 3.5%. We reiterate our BUY but have trimmed our target price to SEK52 (54).
With muted growth due to the tough macroeconomic environment, we believe investors are questioning what multiples to pay for Sinch. While we expect structural growth once conditions improve, we find Sinch undervalued on FCF, with an 8% yield for 2023e and 14% for 2024e. We have cut our target price to SEK54 (65) but reiterate our BUY. The Q3 results are due at 07:30 CET on 7 November.
While organic growth remained muted in Q2, cost control was tight. The soft spot in the report was cash flow, but here management was firm that net working capital (NWC) should swing back in H2. We reiterate our BUY, but have lowered our target price to SEK65 (70) due to weaker top line growth.
After two consecutive quarters with weak volumes and price pressure from large enterprises, we expect better performance in Q2, with a return to organic gross profit growth YOY and improvement in all business segments. We reiterate our BUY and SEK70 target price.

Sinch reported below consensus on all headline numbers, and cash flow was weak due to a negative contribution from net working capital. With easier comparable quarters in all segments in Q2, we see an acceleration to 9% YOY organic gross profit growth. We reiterate our BUY and SEK70 target price.
