Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 4 findings
−14 of −30
  • Margin
    EBIT margin 10.8% and net margin 4.5% (TTM) vs a 20.4% EBIT margin in 2021 and 15% in 2022; the group's adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.5% in H1 vs guidance of 16–19%.
    −4
  • ROIC
    ROIC 9.9% vs 14.5% in 2021 and 12.6% in 2022; only slightly above a WACC of 6.9% after two large acquisitions.
    −2
  • Cash-flow quality
    FCF only DKK 158m (TTM) vs net profit of 420m; FCF margin 1.7% vs 11–14% in 2022–2024, and FCF after leases is negative (−45m).
    −5
  • Capital allocation
    Buybacks of DKK 825m (TTM) vs FCF of 158m and the SDC purchase for 1bn; debt rose from DKK 2.5bn to 4.2bn, and cash is negative (−575m on the overdraft) vs +1.1bn a year earlier.
    −3

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 2 findings
−6 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history
    Forward P/E 15.0 vs 19–41 in 2021–2025 and EV/EBITDA 11.1 vs 16.8–42.7 – cheap on paper, but the trailing P/E is 33.9, and the low forward multiple requires EPS growth of about 64% in 2026.
    −3
  • FCF yield
    FCF yield 1.2% and EV/FCF 113 at an EV of DKK 17.9bn; earnings yield 3.1%.
    −3

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 3 findings
−6 of −35
  • Public-sector dependence
    Public-sector customers make up DKK 4.9bn of 6.9bn (about 72%) of organic revenue visibility; budget and tender decisions in Denmark, Greece/EU and the UK drive the order book.
    −2
  • Integration and margin pressure
    Q2 was marked by restructuring costs, lower licence income and dilution from Netcompany Banking Services; management promises a stronger H2, which has not yet been delivered.
    −2
  • AI risk for IT consultancies
    The market fears AI will hollow out hourly-billed IT development; management calls it an opportunity, but the stock is 21% below this year's peak and in a downtrend since August.
    −2

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 2 findings
+4 of +15
  • Raised guidance
    Organic growth of 17.1% in Q2; 2026 guidance raised to 6.5–10.5% organic (from 5–10%) and 16–20.5% in total (from 15–20%).
    +2
  • Order visibility and productivity
    Organic revenue visibility +10.4% to DKK 6.9bn; client-facing FTEs +9.3% vs organic growth of 17.1%, and staff turnover fell to 16.3% from 18.2%.
    +2

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
IT consultancy and systems house; does not fit the industry list precisely (placed under software). SDC/Netcompany Banking Services was acquired in 2025 and contributes about 13 pp of growth. The forward P/E rests on expected EPS growth of about 64% in 2026. stockanalysis shows insider ownership of 0.11%, but the float (39.4 of 44.6m shares) suggests larger founder ownership – no governance deduction has been made. Peers have not been fetched.
