  • SHORT-LIST 

Softronic is a Swedish provider of IT services and consultancy. The company has new leadership and plans to expand its business. The latest report Q3-2025 was mixed with increased revenue and lower profit (margins), which have a negative impact on earnings per share this year.

The company is currently priced at its average historical P/E 16x and not considered cheap. In the short term the earnings per share can be expected to decline after the loss of a major IT services client (13% of IT services revenue) in Q3 2025. This revenue loss is partially compensated by the acquisition of Innofactor's members platform MMS.

Softronic has a net cash position (no net debt), >25% ROE, a 6% dividend yield. The dividend gives the benefit of a minimal return with a potential upside of future growth. I think Softronic is a lower risk (beta 0.5) dividend investment with long-term growth potential, short-listed to increase the investment.

  • Valuation (1)
    • portfolio

      Softronic has a wide-portfolio of own software solutions, often based on Microsoft technology, that benefit from the wide Microsoft eco-system.

      The available IT competence and resource combined with a profitable business and strong balance-sheet provide the ingredients for better results from its software portfolio and IT infrastructure. This should have a positive effect on the valuation.

    • Key Differentiators

      1. Microsoft Gold Partner - leveraging Microsoft’s ecosystem for enterprise clients.
      2. Industry solutions – tailored offerings for public sector, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, including own software products and third-party software implementation.
      3. Client Relationships – working as a strategic partner rather than a one-off vendor.
      4. In-house infrastructure - Softronic operates its own data-centers in Sweden and can offer its clients an alternative infrastructure for the larger Cloud providers.
      Softronic invested 13Mkr to modernize two data-centers in 2025. About 50% of capacity is available to capitalize on the investments made.

    • Financial results

      In recent years Softronic has shown a modest growth. Although the IT consulting market has been challenging in Sweden, the company managed to realize growth, whilst several competitors have shown negative growth numbers.

      undefined

      Reorganization costs, data-centers investments, and the loss of a major customer have a negative impact on 2025 results.

      With management focus on growth I expect results and margins to improve in 2026 and onwards, also driven by a larger revenue share from higher margin IT services (instead of consulting).

      IT services agreements are often indexed, which will automatically increase revenue and keep margins intact, during inflationary periods.

  • Risks (1)
    • Cybersecurity Risk

      Softronic AB faces cybersecurity risks due to its handling of sensitive client data in its data-centers and projects. A data breach, ransomware attack, or system vulnerability could lead to:

      • Reputational damage (loss of client trust).
      • Financial losses (regulatory fines, legal costs, or contract terminations).
      • Operational disruptions (downtime or recovery expenses).
      December 2022 the company closed down all network traffic with its data-center due to a external cyber-attack. This attack impacted customers, but the company did not provide any more details.
