Q1 preview: Compounding continues Price performance

Why this report?

Lagercrantz has closed six acquisitions in the first few months of FY27, adding

SEK400m of annualised sales versus SEK1.1bn for the whole of FY26. We

update our model, raising FY27–29E EBITA by 0.4–0.6% and moving further

above consensus, now 2–4% ahead across the forecast period. For Q1 itself

we expect a +15% sales and +18% EBITA print that lands below consensus on

a seasonal margin drag in International as Epoke and Friggeråkers enter their

first low-season quarter in the group. As the smallest of the four major serial

acquirers, Lagercrantz can add the same growth from fewer deals, and we

continue to see it as the best positioned to sustain its acquisition pace. We

reiterate Buy and our SEK290 target price.
