Assa Abloy is a supplier of locking and door solutions. In the area of electromechanical security solutions, the group has expertise in access control, identification, door automation and hotel security. Assa Abloy is represented in all global regions with the largest operations in Europe, North America and Australia. The company was created through a merger of the Swedish Assa and the Finnish Abloy in 1994. The head office is in Stockholm.

This is news too, and it’s nice if we can get some discussion going here!  The scale of the acquisition is quite small: NSP’s revenue was just over €9m in 2024.  It is in line with the strategy, however; ASSA’s goal is to grow 5% annually through M&A + organic growth.  2025 results the day after tomorrow on Thursday, are any surprises expected?

ASSA ABLOY has acquired NSP Security (“NSP”) in the UK, a company providing design, manufacturing and installation of access control solutions primarily within the student accommodation segment.

A new quarterly report was released today. Good profitability with some growth. Summary and link attached:                    assaabloy.com              Our investor relations    How strong investor relations and leadership have driven us through 30 years of successful growth.

ASSA ABLOY has acquired Kentix GmbH (“Kentix”), a German designer and manufacturer of monitoring and access control products for datacenters. “I am very pleased to welcome Kentix to ASSA ABLOY. This acquisition delivers on our strategy to add complementary products and solutions to our core business,” says Nico Delvaux, President and CEO of ASSA ABLOY. “I am delighted that Kentix will join the EMEIA Division. Their strong expertise in access control products for data centers aligns well to our Digital & Access Solutions segment vision. Kentix will expand our capability in the fast-growing data center segment delivering an integrated, future-proof security solution that complements our portfolio and positions us well in this critical vertical. We welcome the team at Kentix to the ASSA ABLOY family,” says Neil Vann, Executive Vice President of ASSA ABLOY and Head of EMEIA Division. **Kentix was established in 2008 and has some 40 employees. The main office and factory are located in Idar-Oberstein, Germany.  ** Sales for 2024 amounted to about MEUR 8 (approx. MSEK 90) with a good EBIT margin. The acquisition will be accretive to EPS from the start.

I only just noticed that OP publishes analysis on Assa Abloy. There’s a very recent analysis with a BUY recommendation, target price 360 SEK. The analysis is not OP’s own production but made by a partner.

Just for fun, I downloaded all of ASSA ABLOY’s financial data from 2013-2024 to do a “reality check” on what the company has been able to achieve in the long run. It gives some guidelines for the realism of the targets; of course, the past is no guarantee of the future, but it does tell something. I also included the company’s targets so you can compare. Realized growth figures for 2013-2024, annualized: Revenue +9.9% p.a. - target 10% Earnings +10.5% p.a. Share price +9.3% p.a. Dividend +9.9% p.a. So, a company growing by approx. +10% by all metrics. Additionally, let’s look at the operating margin, which has averaged 15.7% with a target of 16-17%. The operating margin has been very stable over the years, with little variation. So, very “down-to-earth” targets relative to the company’s history. P.S. Credit must be given for sharing such financial data; all key figures and ratios can be nicely downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet. Since the figures are available, there’s no need to be stingy with them.

Good figures from Abloy!                  assaabloy.com              Quarterly Report Q2 2025
