Rating:68Neutral

kr42.00
▲(62.41% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/01/26
The score is driven primarily by strong top-line momentum and supportive technical trend signals (price above all major moving averages with positive MACD). These positives are tempered by thin and previously compressing margins plus recent free-cash-flow deceleration and some historical balance-sheet leverage variability. Valuation is reasonable (P/E ~13.2) with a modest dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Very strong revenue growth
Sustained TTM revenue acceleration (+75.5%) indicates durable demand for Instalco's installation and service offerings and strengthens scale economics. Over 2–6 months this supports pricing leverage, higher utilization of local subsidiaries, and greater negotiating power with suppliers, aiding margin recovery potential.
Negative Factors
Low and compressed margins
Relatively thin and historically compressed margins limit the company's buffer against rising input or labor costs and underpriced projects. For a project-driven group, low net and EBIT margins increase sensitivity to execution issues and reduce the long-term ability to fund growth from operating profitability alone.
