Fair value Increased 9.79%BRAV: Fair Outlook Will Hinge On 106 Level And Share Buybacks
Analysts have lifted their fair value estimate for Bravida Holding to SEK 141.00, citing updated assumptions that reflect a SEK 6 increase in recent Street price targets, along with revised expectations for revenue growth, margins and future P/E.
Analyst Commentary
Recent Street research on Bravida Holding points to a cautious but engaged stance from analysts, with modest adjustments to fair value and price targets tied to updated views on revenue, margins and P/E assumptions.
Bullish Takeaways
- Bullish analysts view the higher fair value estimate and the SEK 6 uplift in Street price targets as a sign that current execution assumptions and long term earnings power still support incremental upside versus prior models.
- The updated framework for Bravida Holding, which ties fair value to revised expectations on revenue and margins, suggests analysts remain comfortable with the company’s ability to support current valuation levels under their base case scenarios.
- The increase in the referenced price target to SEK 106 is seen by bullish analysts as aligning the target more closely with the refreshed fair value estimate of SEK 141, which reduces the gap between fundamental valuation work and price target settings.
- By explicitly revisiting future P/E assumptions, bullish analysts indicate that Bravida Holding’s earnings profile is still considered solid enough to justify refining their models instead of stepping back from the stock.
Bearish Takeaways
- Despite higher fair value work and raised price targets, a Hold rating is maintained. This signals that some bearish analysts view near term risk or execution uncertainty as limiting the attractiveness of the current share price.
- The uplift in the price target by only SEK 6 suggests that more cautious analysts see room for adjustment in assumptions, but not enough confidence to justify a stronger stance on potential upside.
- The focus on revising revenue growth and margin expectations implies that bearish analysts remain alert to any pressure on profitability that could challenge the valuation case for Bravida Holding.
- By keeping a neutral rating alongside higher target levels, bearish analysts signal that, in their view, the updated P/E assumptions already capture much of the risk and reward they currently see in the stock.

Bravida Holding Future Earnings and Revenue Growth
Assumptions
How have these above catalysts been quantified?
- Analysts are assuming Bravida Holding's revenue will grow by 6.6% annually over the next 3 years.
- Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 4.8% today to 5.7% in 3 years time.
- Analysts expect earnings to reach SEK 2.0 billion (and earnings per share of SEK 9.12) by about July 2029, up from SEK 1.4 billion today. However, there is some disagreement amongst the analysts with the more bearish ones expecting earnings as low as SEK1.7 billion.
- In order for the above numbers to justify the price target of the analysts, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 16.9x on those 2029 earnings, down from 20.1x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the GB Commercial Services industry at 18.8x.
- Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 0.14% per year for the next 3 years.
- To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 5.34%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.
Risks
What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?- The company reports a decrease in order intake, particularly highlighted by a challenging decline of 26%, which could potentially impact future revenue streams if not improved.
- There is a notable reduction in sales in the south of Sweden due to a soft market, impacting overall national sales performance and net margins.
- Negative organic growth and dependencies on acquired growth could indicate underlying weaknesses in sustaining internal growth, affecting future earnings potential.
- Significant restructuring costs in Sweden and Denmark, including layoffs, have been necessary, indicating underlying operational and market challenges that risk impacting net earnings if continued.
- The order backlog is at a lower level than desired, indicating potential future revenue shortfalls or delayed revenue realization, impacting overall financial stability.
Valuation
How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?
- The analysts have a consensus price target of SEK141.0 for Bravida Holding based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
- However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of SEK152.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just SEK106.0.
- In order for you to agree with the analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be SEK35.1 billion, earnings will come to SEK2.0 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 16.9x, assuming you use a discount rate of 5.3%.
- Given the current share price of SEK138.6, the analyst price target of SEK141.0 is 1.7% higher. The relatively low difference between the current share price and the analyst consensus price target indicates that they believe on average, the company is fairly priced.
- We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
