Qt: Blood-curdling growth

Download report (PDF)

Qt Group that develops software development tools published a very strong Q2 report on Friday and currency-adjusted net sales nearly doubled from the comparison period. The company's market is on the threshold of strong growth even though component shortage partly caused by growth restricts growth in the short term. Qt still manages to constantly squeeze out stronger growth than we anticipate from the market driven by developer licenses, and we raised our estimates clearly. Valuation has been stretched very high in the short term (2021e EV/S 30x) but the return expectation we estimate (7%) is, however, sufficient to stay with the high-quality grower.
