Inderes' May revenue grew 14% YoY to 1,9 MEUR, exceeding our 1,7 MEUR estimate by 12%. According to management, growth was driven mainly by recurring revenue (research and software) with additional support from timings of project revenue.
| May 2024 | ∆% | May 2025 | ∆% | May 2026 | ∆% | FY26 Old | FY26 New |
| 1,9 MEUR | 15 % | 1,6 MEUR | -12 % | 1,9 MEUR | 14 % | 20,7 MEUR | 20,8 MEUR |
Recent momentum has been strong, and the competitive landscape is shifting in Inderes' favor.
The Finnish IPO pipeline is showing clear signs of recovery, which is consistent with our earlier expectations. For example: Savox, KPY and Reaktor have all announced listing intentions.
Evli's announced exit from the research business eliminates one credible domestic competitor, further consolidating Inderes' market position. It should be noted that almost all Evli’s research clients have already been commissioned by Inderes. In our view the exit happens in a good spot for Inderes, which will have easier time converting new listing to research clients in Finland.
We revise our Q2 revenue estimate to EUR 5,7 million and raise our full-year 2026 forecast to 20,8 (20,7) MEUR mainly driven by continued momentum in Inderes' domestic commissioned research business.
