In this note, we update our model and thoughts following the Q4 results incorporating conference call feedback and compare our new estimates to guidance and consensus. Elisa has had a tumultuous few days – down on the day of results, and now up heavily after.
Elisa has reported a weak set of Q4 numbers, with slowing trends, misses vs consensus, weak guidance and a lower than expected dividend. The results would justify a further sell-off in our view, as concerns over competition in Finland continue. Elisa has gone from being a premium-rated defensive bellwether to perennial downgrade concern.

Elisa has reported a solid enough set of results, but both SR and EBITDA have missed consensus expectations very slightly, and although LFL SR trends are better at +3.2% y/y from +1.6% y/y, EBITDA is a touch slower at +3.4% y/y from +3.6% y/y. Headline growth rates are now though at the level of the mid-term guidance, (>4% 24-27 CAGR) supported by M&A.
Elisa has reported a slightly mixed set of results – SR has missed by -1.6%, but EBITDA is +0.9% ahead. LFL y/y EBITDA trends are better, but LFL y/y SR trends are slower, and that’s the rub: Elisa can’t seemingly grow EBITDA and SR at the same time, or more importantly EBITDA at faster rate than SR, but with good SR growth. Until that changes, or it beats expectations, it is unlikely to materially re-rate in our view, hence the Neutral rating.
