Björn Borg Q3'24: Maintaining a good pace despite challenging conditions
The operating environment continues to be challenging due to low consumer purchasing power and confidence. In addition, Björn Borg has, during the past year, struggled with internal challenges in integrating the footwear distribution from the previous partner that went bankrupt early this year. Despite these factors, we believe that Björn Borg delivered a stable third quarter, although it was somewhat below our expectations in terms of sales. The valuation of P/E 17x and EV/EBIT 13x for 2025 looks quite attractive and a combination of dividends and earnings growth should give around 10% total shareholder return.
