CMD targets support ~NOK 85-100/share, we estimate
Sales CAGR is guided to 10% through the cycle (PAS high-end expectation, +4p.p. vs the 2024 CMD), with EBITDA margin
above 16%. Near-term growth is guided lower at 0-5%, which we read as caution on aftermarket activity into YTG'26e. With
6-8% FX headwinds, underlying short-term growth is close to the long-term ambition, and a NOK 600m improvement
program underpins the margin expansion. On an 8-9% WACC DCF the targets support a fair value of ~NOK 85-100/share,
while a 15-20x exit P/E on 2030e implies a 12-18% IRR. Consensus 2026e still needs to come down, but we think the shares
already reflect that downside. The key delta from here is upside to margins and the long-term growth ambition. Share price
reaction will hinge on market con?dence in the long-term targets. Every CMD target since 2020 has been met, albeit in a
favorable market, and we think a positive reaction is warranted.
Financial targets
KMAR targets a sales CAGR of 10% through the cycle, with EBITDA margin above 16%. Short-term growth is guided lower at 0-5%, which
we attribute to uncertainty around aftermarket activity in YTG'26e. With the Q1 aftermarket run-rate assuming no recovery, we estimate
flattish group sales in 2026, against consensus of 10% growth in 2026e easing to 8% and 7% in 2027-28e. We expect 2026e to be revised
down, but recent sell-side downgrades mean the shares should already reflect that short-term downside. To support the margin target,
KMAR will launch a NOK 600m improvement program, with full effect from 2027e.
