We raise our TP to € 23.4 and switch our rating back to Outperform on FLOW. The reason for our upgrade is two-fold. In the short-term, we expect the US elections (5 November) to lead to higher market volatility and volume growth, these being the main ingredients for revenue generation. Over the medium term however, we see a path for FLOW to structurally grow its trading capital organically at a 15% CAGR, reaching € 1bn by FY 2027. - - >Upgrading to Outperform on US electio...

>Results above expectations, driven by dislocations in equities in EU and APAC - FLOW came out with a strong set of Q3 figures this morning, which were materially above consensus expectations. Group NTI came in at € 107.3m, 27% above expectations, and implying a strong QoQ acceleration of 35%. Strong performance was recorded across all regions. EBITDA margin was 44.1%, a beat of 11p.p to consensus, given the rather fix cost nature of the business resulting in strong o...
>Conclusion: a slightly better quarter due to heightened volatility in the cash markets and normalised trading conditions in fixed income and cryptos - Flow Traders’ third quarter was marked by slightly improved trading conditions in the core ETP business, with the revenue pool growing 11.5% QoQ (AAOBe), and somewhat normalised trading conditions in the fixed income and crypto markets. All these led to decent NTI generation in the quarter across all asset classes and...

>Debt portion small, but the direction of travel is worth noting - The recent Q2 print was marked by three negative factors: 1) miss to consensus estimates, 2) further market share deterioration, and 3) the suspension of the dividend; and one positive - € 25m in debt for trading capital upsizing. This is a small figure (c.4% of current trading capital), however we think the direction of travel is noteworthy. This is the first step which FLOW will use as a proof-of-con...
The Flow Traders' share price has fallen by c.20% since the 2Q24 results and suspension of the dividend. We review our earnings forecast and valuation, and come to the conclusion that Flow Traders is likely to deliver a through cycle RoE of c.14%. As a result, we expect the company to trade around book value of €14.30 per share and reduce our 12-month target price to this level (previously €17.92) while maintaining our HOLD recommendation.
>Q2 2024 results materially missing consensus - FLOW came out with a disappointing set of figures, missing consensus forecast across most of line items.

In the mix however, EMEA came slightly ahead however US was very disappointing at 49.6% below forecasts. EBITDA was € 21.1m, a 27.7% margin which is in rela...
