Yesterday, Columbus reported its Q3 2024 results. Columbus grew revenue by 8% (6% organic growth) and improved its EBITDA margin to 7.9%. The company maintained its 2024 guidance. Columbus is well-positioned in the IT services sector with its exposure to business-critical ERP solutions despite general challenges across the IT services sector. This is shown by Columbus' double-digit YoY revenue growth rates in 2024 (YTD) in its two largest business lines, Dynamics and M3. We have updated our investment case one-pager after the Q3 2024 results, including an updated overview of the peer group of Nordic-listed IT services and consultancy companies.
