FRACTL: Stable Margins And P/E Assumptions Will Support Undervalued Upside
Analysts have kept their SEK 31.0 price target for Fractal Gaming Group broadly unchanged, reflecting only minor changes to inputs such as the discount rate, long term revenue growth, profit margin and future P/E assumptions rather than a shift in overall view.
Valuation Changes
- Fair Value: SEK 31.0 is unchanged, indicating no adjustment to the estimated central value for the shares.
- Discount Rate: moved slightly from 6.57% to 6.56%, reflecting a very small refinement in the risk and return assumptions used in the model.
- Revenue Growth: effectively unchanged at around 3.25%, suggesting no material revision to long term top line expectations in SEK terms.
- Net Profit Margin: remains stable at around 5.49%, indicating only a minor technical adjustment in the earnings assumption in SEK.

Fractal Gaming Group Future Earnings and Revenue Growth
Assumptions
How have these above catalysts been quantified?- Analysts are assuming Fractal Gaming Group's revenue will grow by 8.0% annually over the next 3 years.
- Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 6.0% today to 6.2% in 3 years time.
- Analysts expect earnings to reach SEK 64.1 million (and earnings per share of SEK 2.16) by about September 2028, up from SEK 49.1 million today.
- In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 23.3x on those 2028 earnings, up from 21.6x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the SE Tech industry at 28.0x.

Fractal Gaming Group Future Earnings Per Share Growth
Risks
What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?- Heavy reliance on PC cases-accounting for nearly 90% of sales-exposes Fractal Gaming Group to shifts in consumer behavior away from DIY desktop PCs, especially as long-term trends indicate rising adoption of compact computing devices, gaming laptops, and all-in-ones, which could reduce future revenue growth.
- Ongoing external headwinds such as U.S. tariffs, global supply chain disruptions, and currency fluctuations have already eroded product margins and may continue to pressure net margins and earnings if global trade tensions or regulatory risks persist or worsen.
- Expansion into new product categories (e.g., headsets and chairs) is still nascent, and with early evidence of lower margins and launch-related sales volatility in these segments, diversification away from the core business may not offset potential declines in the main PC case market, thereby limiting revenue growth and compressing overall margins.
- Rising operating and inventory costs tied to strategic initiatives-increased warehousing, kickbacks, and inventory buildup-could persist if demand slows or market conditions change, further impacting net margins and cash flow.
- The broad PC hardware market is subject to longer and less pronounced upgrade cycles, and future consumer upgrading may slow as cloud/mobile gaming grows and the DIY PC market matures, posing a risk of stagnating or declining top-line revenue and profitability over the long term.
Valuation
How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?- The analysts have a consensus price target of SEK43.0 for Fractal Gaming Group based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
- In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be SEK1.0 billion, earnings will come to SEK64.1 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 23.3x, assuming you use a discount rate of 6.2%.
