First Berlin Equity Research hat ein Research Update zu The Platform Group AG (ISIN: DE000A2QEFA1) veröffentlicht. Analyst Alexander Rihane bestätigt seine BUY-Empfehlung und bestätigt sein Kursziel von EUR 16,00.

Zusammenfassung:
Mit der Übernahme der Chronext Group, einer Online-Plattform für Luxusuhren, und der FirstWire GmbH, einer B2B-Finanzierungsplattform, hat The Platform Group ihre M&A-Tätigkeit fortgesetzt. Damit erhöht sich die Zahl der in diesem Jahr getätigten Übernahmen auf 11 mit einem Gesamtübernahmevolumen von €37 Mio. Für 2025 plant TPG weitere M&A-Aktivitäten mit einem angestrebten Investitionsvolumen von €30 Mio. bis €40 Mio. Um dies zu finanzieren, hat das Unternehmen seine bestehende 2024/2028 Anleihe mit einem Kupon von 8,875 % um €20 Mio. aufgestockt. Das Management gab in der Telefonkonferenz zum 3. Quartal bekannt, dass das nächste M&A-Ziel eine B2C-Optikerplattform in Deutschland ist, deren Akquisition voraussichtlich in Q1/25 abgeschlossen sein wird. Das Ziel von TPG ist es, die führende Plattformgruppe in Europa zu werden, und ein 50/50 Verhältnis zwischen organischem und anorganischem Wachstum zu erreichen. Ein aktualisiertes DCF-Modell führt zu einem unveränderten Kursziel von €16. Wir bestätigen unsere Kaufempfehlung.

First Berlin Equity Research has published a research update on The Platform Group AG (ISIN: DE000A2QEFA1). Analyst Alexander Rihane reiterated his BUY rating and maintained his EUR 16.00 price target.

Abstract:
The Platform Group has continued its M&A spree with the acquisitions of Chronext Group, an online platform for luxury watches, and FirstWire GmbH, a B2B financing platform. This brings the tally of acquisitions made this year to 11, with a total 2024 acquisition volume of €37m. In 2025 TPG plans to continue M&A activities, with a targeted investment volume of €30m - €40m. To finance this, the company has tapped the existing 8.875% coupon 2024/2028 bond to the tune of €20m. Management indicated in the Q3 earnings call, that the next M&A target, which is expected to close in Q1/25, is a B2C optician platform located in Germany. TPG's near-term goal is to become Europe's leading platform group, with a targeted 50/50 organic and inorganic growth split. An updated DCF model yields an unchanged €16 price target. We confirm our Buy recommendation.
