Price Target:
kr18.00
▼(-16.36% Downside)
The score is held down primarily by weak and volatile reported financial performance (sharp 2025 downturn and inconsistent cash generation) and bearish technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD). The earnings call provides some offset via improving portfolio-company growth/profitability and continued buybacks alongside lower borrowings, while valuation support is limited because losses make P/E less informative and no dividend yield is provided.
Positive Factors
Conservative balance sheet
Low leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.15) gives VNV durable financial flexibility to support follow-on investments, weather liquidity cycles, and pursue opportunistic buybacks or partial bond redemptions without urgent refinancing. That structural strength lowers solvency risk over months.
High-growth, EBITDA-positive core holdings
A concentrated set of large portfolio companies delivering ~40% growth and majority EBITDA positivity provides a durable engine for NAV and potential realizations. Structural revenue and margin improvements at platform businesses increase odds of meaningful exits or cash returns over the medium term.
Proven capital recycling and buybacks
Management has executed meaningful exits and opportunistic buybacks, demonstrating disciplined capital allocation and the ability to realize value. This repeatable recycling of capital supports long-term compounding and provides optionality to redeploy into higher conviction growth positions.
Negative Factors
Weak cash generation / cash burn
Deeply negative operating and free cash flow (~-277M TTM) is a durable risk: ongoing cash burn can force asset sales, limit follow-on funding for portfolio winners, or require external financing. Over a 2–6 month horizon this increases execution and funding pressure on the investment strategy.
Persistently negative and volatile profitability
Very negative margins and volatile historical profits indicate earnings are driven by revaluations rather than steady operating income. This reduces predictability of returns, complicates planning for distributions or buybacks, and increases dependence on successful future exits for durable shareholder value.
NAV markdowns and large discount to NAV
Sequential NAV declines and valuation markdowns on key holdings, combined with a persistent ~49% share discount, create structural headwinds. A sustained discount can impair access to capital, reduce realized proceeds from secondary sales, and limit management's ability to convert NAV into shareholder value.

VNV Global Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Jan 29, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 22, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents stronger operational progress and accelerating growth across core portfolio companies (notably Voi, BlaBlaCar, Numan, Breadfast and HousingAnywhere) with improving profitability and selective follow-on investments. However, near-term reported NAV and valuation headwinds—driven by peer multiple moves, currency effects and continued discounting of VNV shares—remain material. Management is addressing the discount via opportunistic buybacks and sees long-term upside from portfolio fundamentals.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
NAV and Portfolio Size
NAV at year-end 2025 of $547 million (≈$4.25/share). Total investment portfolio ~$589 million (investments $537M, cash ~$55M).
Strong growth and profitability across core holdings
Top 6 holdings generated ~SEK 1 billion in revenues in 2025 (VNV's share ≈SEK 150M). The six largest holdings showed ~40% revenue growth in 2025 and management expects ~30% growth in 2026; ~76–80% of the portfolio is EBITDA positive.
Voi: material operational and commercial progress
Voi delivered ~30% net revenue growth in 2025, monthly active riders up >33% (≈1 million retained monthly users). VNV increased its Voi valuation by >25% during 2025 (Voi now >22% of VNV portfolio; valued at $127M). Strong regulated-market mix (≈30% market share in regulated markets; ~80% revenues from regulated markets).
BlaBlaCar long-term monetization opportunity
BlaBlaCar valued at $164M (VNV stake); management highlights monetization opportunities in emerging markets (Brazil, India, Mexico) and improving product-led growth in Europe despite a quarter valuation mark-down.
High-conviction buybacks and capital returns
Company continued opportunistic buybacks (holds ~2.4M common shares, ≈1.8% outstanding). Management emphasizes buybacks while stock trades at large discounts and notes $170M of exits around NAV over past 2 years.
Notable portfolio successes and follow-ons
Successful exits and marks: Tise sold to eBay above VNV mark; OURA and Yuv rounds priced above VNV marks; VNV intends to support select follow-on rounds (e.g., commit ~EUR 1M to HousingAnywhere).
Breadfast, HousingAnywhere and Numan momentum
Breadfast valued at $30M with run-rate GMV ≈$290M and accelerating growth; HousingAnywhere ~20% CAGR, adjusted EBITDA positive since 2024 and VNV to invest in upcoming round; Numan delivered triple-digit revenue growth in 2025 with positive EBITDA and valuation held flat based on summer 2025 funding.
Debt reduction and cash inflows
Borrowings were reduced (partial bond redemption halved outstanding bond), with main cash inflows from Gett and Tise closings; net cash position improved and gross cash provides buyback firepower (~$55M cash reported).
Negative Updates
Quarterly and 12-month NAV declines
NAV declined 5.9% in USD during Q4 2025 and ~8% in SEK for the quarter. Over 12 months NAV is down ~4.2% in USD and close to 20% in SEK.
Valuation markdowns on key holdings
BlaBlaCar valuation down ~11% in the quarter (~$20M) primarily due to weaker peer multiples; Voi stake marked down ~7% (~$10M) in Q4 driven by conservative near-term EBITDA assumptions; overall fair value changes driven by peer multiple movements.
Persistent large discount to NAV
Shares trade at a material discount: management cites an implied ~49% discount to NAV (with per-share close commentary). Discount remains despite buybacks and improved cash/net cash position.
Near-term margin pressure from growth investments
Voi reduced near-term LTM EBITDA forecast for 2026 to reflect investments in mega-cities (London, Paris) and a refurbishment hub (Poland). Voi will be positive on adjusted EBITDA/EBIT in 2026 but margins will be expanding rather than steady-state due to prioritizing growth.
Slight dip in pro rata profitability
Pro rata adjusted EBITDA margin for the top holdings (VNV share) declined modestly to ~2.2% (from ~2.5–3% prior), largely driven by Breadfast investing heavily in growth at lower near-term margins.
Currency and reporting volatility
Reporting in USD produced additional volatility given limited USD exposure in underlying assets; SEK weakness amplified reported 12-month declines. Management is reviewing reporting currency but has not changed it.
Company Guidance
Guidance summary: VNV ended 2025 with NAV $547m (≈ $4.25/share), down 5.9% in Q4 (SEK 5.0bn, ≈ SEK39.1/share, -8% Q4) and -4.2% year‑on‑year in USD (≈ -20% in SEK); total investment portfolio stood at $589m (investments $537m, cash ~$55m), with borrowings $46.6m after a partial bond redemption (debt roughly halved). The shares repurchased ~2.4m common (~1.8% outstanding); the stock traded at ~19.9% discount to NAV (per‑share close Jan‑28) and an implied ~49% discount to NAV, and management will continue opportunistic buybacks. Top‑6 holdings make up ~80% of NAV (~SEK30/share): BlaBlaCar $164m (Q4 -11%), Voi $127m (Q4 -7%; 2025 net revenue growth ~30%, active users +33%, ~1m monthly active users, ~110 cities/12 countries, ~30% market share, >60k vehicles resold, ~1‑year payback on 9th‑gen hardware, >10‑year asset life), Numan $37m (valued on a 2025 raise; triple‑digit 2025 revenue growth, positive EBITDA), HousingAnywhere $37m (flat; ~20% annual growth, adj. EBITDA positive since 2024; VNV committed ~EUR1m to an upcoming round), Breadfast ~$30m (run‑rate GMV ≈ $290m), and Bokadirekt (2025 net revenue ~SEK200m, EBITDA ~SEK50m). Management expects the six largest holdings to have accelerated growth (~40% in the year just closed) and projects continued strong growth into 2026 (order of ~30%) with earnings turning positive and accelerating; Voi is expected to deliver positive adjusted EBITDA/EBIT in 2026 with margin expansion over 2025 while investing in city expansion and refurbishment capacity.

VNV Global Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financials are pressured by a sharp 2025 deterioration (revenue down ~99% YoY, deep losses) and renewed cash burn (operating cash flow negative again; free cash flow ~breakeven). The balance sheet is a relative positive with low leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.08), but ongoing losses are eroding equity and returns (negative ROE).
Income Statement
18
Very Negative
Profitability and top-line trends have deteriorated sharply. 2025 shows extremely weak performance with revenue down ~99% year over year and deep losses (net margin around -89% and negative EBIT margin). Results have also been highly volatile across years (profits in 2020–2021 and 2023, but very large losses in 2022 and 2024), which reduces earnings quality and predictability.
Balance Sheet
62
Positive
Leverage appears manageable with low debt relative to equity (debt-to-equity ~0.08 in 2025, down from ~0.13 in 2024), providing balance-sheet flexibility. However, returns to shareholders are currently negative (2025 return on equity around -5.7%), and equity has declined versus earlier years, highlighting that recent losses are eroding capital over time.
Cash Flow
22
Negative
Cash generation is inconsistent and currently pressured. Operating cash flow turned negative again in 2025 (about -12.8m) after a strong positive year in 2024, and free cash flow fell to roughly breakeven in 2025 from a solid positive level in 2024. The swing in cash flow direction and weak cash conversion during loss-making periods increases financial risk despite the relatively low leverage.

VNV Global NAV Falls in 2025 as Portfolio Revaluations Drive Annual Loss
Jan 29, 2026

VNV Global AB reported a decline in net asset value for 2025, with NAV falling to USD 546.66 million, or USD 4.25 per share, from USD 581.39 million a year earlier, and a steeper drop in SEK terms due to currency effects. The company posted a full-year net loss of USD 29.22 million and a fourth-quarter loss of USD 37.47 million, driven largely by negative revaluations of key portfolio holdings BlaBlaCar and Voi and the completed divestments of Gett and Tise, though Voi also saw a positive revaluation earlier in the year. VNV Global continued to adjust its capital structure, partially redeeming its 2024/2027 bond to leave SEK 425 million outstanding and repurchasing nearly 1.3 million of its own shares during the fourth quarter. The results underscore both the valuation volatility in its core mobility and platform investments and management’s ongoing efforts to streamline the portfolio and balance sheet, with no significant events reported after year-end.
