Andrea Zampaloni has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Smart Capital’s strong FY25 results and solid balance sheet. The company delivered markedly higher earnings, robust NAV growth and a sizeable net cash position, all supported by profitable exits and resilient performance across both private and listed holdings.
He also highlights the growing investment “firepower” and the progress of new platforms such as Smart4Mechanics and the integrated SME advisory hub, which enhance future value-creation prospects. With the target price implying about 19% upside and a reduced holding discount reflecting lower execution risk, he sees management well positioned to deploy liquidity selectively and unlock further shareholder value.
In another report released yesterday, Intesa Sanpaolo also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a €2.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 7 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of SMCAP in relation to earlier this year.
