Q3 was solid overall, with record subscriber intake, a return to growth in advertising revenues, and 15% YOY revenue growth. We believe the iOS launch set for Q4 will help boost User revenue growth. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK60 (53).
We expect a return to growth in Advertising revenues in Q3, broadly stable growth QOQ in User revenues, and increased momentum in Truecaller for Business (TfB) following price rises. We expect the launch of the new iOS product to improve User growth further in Q4 and in 2025. We reiterate our BUY, and have raised our target price to SEK53 (50).
Truecaller has already indicated that Advertising revenues will be affected by lower YOY IPL revenues. We are below consensus on Q2 sales (by 3%) and EBITDA (by 5%). For H2, we forecast 20% YOY growth and believe valuation is appealing. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK50 (46).
Truecaller reported above consensus Q1 sales forecast, driven by marketing revenues boosted by IPL. However, as it indicated much lower IPL revenues for Q2, we have reduced our estimates for the quarter. We reiterate our BUY and SEK46 target price.
We believe our Q1 revenue assumptions could prove conservative (results due at 07:30 CET on 7 May), but we are still 3% above consensus on sales and 5% above on EBITDA. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to SEK46 (40) on higher peer multiples.
The Q4 report was still burdened by a weak advertising market. We believe the stock will start to perform when the advertising market recovers, although there are no signs of recovery soon. Meanwhile, the stock appears low priced, with support from share buybacks. We reiterate our BUY and SEK40 target price.
Q3 net sales missed consensus by 13%, while EBITDA undershot by 22%, both reflecting weakness in advertising revenues. In turn, we have cut our Q4 2023–Q2 2024e advertising revenue growth estimates sharply, and lowered our target price to SEK40 (55), but reiterate our BUY following the recent drop in the share price.
In 2023, Truecaller has been affected by lower demand for digital advertising, hurting advertising revenues. Q2 had benefited from India’s cricket league driving higher advertising demand, but we believe demand has returned to the level seen at end-Q1. We reiterate our BUY and SEK55 target price. Truecaller is set to report its Q3 results at 07:30 CET on 27 October.
Solid cost control Truecaller reported a very solid Q2, with support for Advertising revenues from India’s cricket season combined with tight cost control, resulting in solid margins. We have raised our2024e EBITDA by 7% and our target price to SEK55 (48), and reiterate our BUY.
We expect a return to revenue growth in Q2 YOY on an improved subscriber intake and advertising market, partly supported by the Indian Premier League (cricket) season. We are 2% above consensus on sales and 6% above on EBITDA, and reiterate our BUY and SEK48 target price.
Truecaller reported negative revenue growth and missed consensus revenue and gross profit by 5% in Q1. With signs of an improved advertising market as well as the benefit of the Indian cricket season, we see a return to revenue growth in Q2. We reiterate our BUY and SEK48 target price.
We expect a weak Q1, with continued CPM pressure, partly offset by growth in ad impressions per monthly active user (MAU). This also seems reflected in consensus; we are 2% above consensus on sales and 4% above on EBITDA. We reiterate our BUY and SEK48 target price.
Ad market spending in India was down significantly in Q4, leading us to cut our estimates. However, with subscriber intake solid and Truecaller for business expanding according to plan, we do not believe the medium-term case is broken. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to SEK48 (55).
We expect the Q4 report (due at 07:30 CET on 23 February) to highlight an investment quarter, with Truecaller aiming to improve brand recognition in tier 2/3 cities in India as well as the US. This also seems reflected in consensus; we are 2% above consensus on EBITDA. We reiterate our BUY and SEK55 target price.
