Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 3 findings
−10 of −30
  • Margin
    Operating margin 8.4% and net margin 6.3% (TTM) despite a 41% gross margin; the result has swung from −DKK 45.6m in operating profit (2022) to +DKK 148m, with net losses in 2022 and 2024.
    −4
  • Quality of cash flow
    FCF of DKK 470m (TTM) vs net result of DKK 111m is due to inventory run-down (+DKK 244m TTM, +270m in 2025) after an inventory build-up of DKK 357m in 2023; analysts expect only DKK 57m in FCF in 2026.
    −3
  • Moat
    AC charging boxes are a hardware product with a flat gross margin: 36–44% in 2021–2025 and 40.9% expected in 2026 – no sign of rising pricing power despite record volume.
    −3

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 3 findings
−13 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history
    P/B 8.8 vs 1.4–5.1 in 2022–2025, EV/Sales 3.0 vs 0.84–1.99, forward P/E 29.6 vs 15–23 and EV/EBITDA 32 vs 20 in 2025 – the highest valuation since the bubble in 2021.
    −8
  • Peers
    EV/Sales 3.0 vs 1.75 for Kempower, the nearest Nordic listed charger maker.
    −2
  • Absolute price level
    Trailing P/E 52 and earnings yield 2.0%; dividend yield 0.5%.
    −3

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 3 findings
−5 of −35
  • Demand fluctuations
    Revenue fell 9.7% in 2024 after an inventory build of DKK 357m in 2023, and the company posted a net loss - demand from installers and distributors can turn quickly.
    −3
  • Capacity expansion
    New production in Hungary must start in Q3 2026 at the same time as the order book has doubled - risk of start-up problems and delivery delays.
    −1
  • Low insider ownership
    Insiders own only 1.9% of the shares, and institutions 7.0%; the stock is largely owned by private investors.
    −1

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 3 findings
+6 of +15
  • Order intake and record quarter
    Q2 2026: revenue 506m kr (+32%), order intake 894m kr (+94%) and order book 1,119m kr (+97%).
    +3
  • Net cash
    Net cash DKK 361m (DKK 4.14 per share) and debt/equity 0.08.
    +2
  • Operating leverage
    EBITDA margin rose to 14% in Q2 from 11%, and operating costs fell to 27% of revenue from 29%.
    +1

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
The Oslo listing (ZAP). Only 3 analysts. The revenue split by country (dependence on the saturated Norwegian market) and competition from Easee, Wallbox and Asian producers are not quantified; EU subsidies for charging infrastructure not investigated. TTM FCF (NOK 470m) is inflated by inventory run-down. The stock has risen approx. 100% in a year. Q3 report 4 Nov 2026.
