Arbonia (SWX:ARBN)

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Arbonia AG is a company that supplies building components across Switzerland, Germany, and other international markets, with a market capitalization of CHF 880.76 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily generated from its Doors segment, including sanitary equipment, which reported CHF 501.56 million in sales.

Insider Ownership: 28.8%

Arbonia is poised for significant transformation, with expectations to achieve profitability within three years. This growth trajectory is underscored by a revenue increase projected at 9% annually, outpacing the Swiss market's average of 4.8%. However, its Return on Equity (ROE) remains a concern, forecasted at a low 3.8% in the same period. Notably, there has been no substantial insider trading activity reported in recent months. At the Stifel Swiss Equities Conference in June 2024, further insights may emerge.

Insider Ownership: 29.9%

LEM Holding SA's recent financial performance shows a slight decline, with sales and net income both decreasing from the previous year. Despite this, the company is expected to outperform the Swiss market with an 8.2% annual revenue growth and a 9.4% earnings growth. Analysts predict a potential stock price increase of 30.2%, supported by its trading status at 19.3% below estimated fair value. However, its share price has been highly volatile recently, and there's no significant insider buying reported over the past three months.

Leonteq (SWX:LEON)

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Leonteq AG is a Swiss company specializing in structured investment products and long-term savings and retirement solutions across Switzerland, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, with a market capitalization of CHF 409.93 million.

Insider Ownership: 12.7%

Leonteq exhibits robust growth prospects with earnings expected to rise by 32.41% annually, outpacing the Swiss market projection of 8.3%. Despite challenges like a dividend coverage shortfall and debt not well covered by operating cash flow, its revenue growth forecast at 10.6% annually also exceeds the market's 4.8%. Trading significantly below fair value suggests potential upside, although concerns include low return on equity projections and reduced profit margins from the previous year.
