AB Traction (OM:TRAC B)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: AB Traction is a private equity firm that focuses on distressed, middle market, later stage, mature, bridge, recapitalization, buyouts and PIPES investments with a market cap of SEK4.22 billion.

Operations: The firm generates revenue primarily from active listed holdings (SEK275.60 million) and financial investments (SEK309.80 million), with a smaller contribution from unlisted holdings (SEK79.30 million).

AB Traction showcases a strong financial turnaround, reporting a net income of SEK 10.7 million for Q3 2024, compared to a hefty net loss of SEK 210 million the previous year. This improvement is reflected in basic earnings per share from continuing operations at SEK 0.72, up from a loss per share of SEK 14.2 last year. Over the past year, earnings have surged by an impressive 241%, outpacing industry growth significantly. The company operates debt-free and is trading at approximately 7.8% below its estimated fair value, indicating potential undervaluation in the market context as it continues to grow profitably without debt concerns.

PharmaSGP Holding (XTRA:PSG)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆
