Stronger Q2 profit lifts Alligo’s 12 month picture

• On a trailing 12 month basis, Alligo has earned net income of SEK344 million on SEK9.8b of revenue, compared with quarterly net income of SEK101 million on SEK2.6b in Q2 2026, so Q2 is a meaningful contributor to the current run rate.
• Consensus narrative points to cost savings and own brand growth as key earnings drivers, and the recent margin level of 3.5% TTM alongside SEK9.8b in sales gives some support to that view. However, the weaker five year earnings trend shows that turning integration work and efficiency plans into consistent profit remains an ongoing test for the bullish case.
  • The TTM net margin of 3.5% versus 2.4% a year earlier is in line with the idea that completed integration and cost reduction programs are feeding into better profitability.
  • At the same time, five year earnings having declined 1.7% per year is a reminder that relying on integration wins and own brands alone may not be enough if organic revenue pressure, including the reported weak underlying growth, persists.

Stronger recent profits and a higher trailing margin give Alligo bulls fresh talking points, but the longer term earnings record means the story still needs consistent follow through on sales and efficiency targets before it looks fully settled.

🐂 Alligo Bull Case

Debt and cash flow concerns put Alligo’s balance sheet under scrutiny

• Alligo is reported to have SEK2.1b of net debt with net debt to EBITDA at 3.2x, and carries a TTM net margin of 3.5%, so leverage is being supported by relatively slim profitability.
• Bears highlight that rising net debt, cautious customer demand and integration challenges in underperforming regions could pressure cash flow, and the combination of SEK2.1b of net debt with a modest 3.5% margin fits that concern, even as Q2 2026 net income of SEK101 million and TTM earnings of SEK344 million show that the current earnings base is still covering interest and debt servicing today.
  • With TTM revenue at SEK9.8b and net income at SEK344 million, Alligo is producing earnings, but the 3.2x net debt to EBITDA ratio means a meaningful portion of that has to support the balance sheet rather than purely fund growth.
  • The negative five year earnings trend of 1.7% per year gives further weight to the cautious view that if demand stays soft or turnarounds in areas like Finland are slow, leverage could become more restrictive for future investment.

For cautious investors, the mix of higher leverage, modest margins and uneven multi year earnings is likely to keep balance sheet strength at the center of the risk discussion around Alligo.

🐻 Alligo Bear Case

Valuation gap between SEK134.6 price and DCF fair value

• Alligo’s current share price of SEK134.6 sits well below both the cited DCF fair value of SEK410.59 and the analyst price target of SEK171.00, while trading on a P/E of 19.6x versus the European Trade Distributors average of 19.2x and a peer average of 30.7x.
• Consensus narrative views the combination of a higher DCF fair value and analyst target as a reward signal. However, the almost in line P/E at 19.6x and a five year earnings decline of 1.7% per year show why some investors may treat the apparent discount with caution, using the stronger 51.5% earnings growth over the past year and margin improvement to 3.5% as starting points rather than proof that the gap between SEK134.6 and the SEK171.00 target, or the much higher DCF figure, will necessarily close.
  • The 51.5% earnings increase over the last 12 months and TTM EPS of about 6.86 SEK help explain why the P/E multiple is slightly above the industry, despite the weaker five year track record.
  • At the same time, the stock trading below both the DCF fair value and the analyst target while carrying what is described as a high level of debt underlines how investors are weighing recent earnings progress against balance sheet and growth risks.
