Analyst

Atte Riikola

Admicom operates in the IT sector. The company develops cloud-based services that mainly concern administration, accounting, payroll and project management. In addition to its main business, it offers training and customer support. Its customers are small and medium-sized corporate customers, with the largest operations in construction and industry. The head office is located in Jyväskylä.

In the last quarter of 2027, so in a couple of years. A lot can happen before then. Admicom might not even be listed independently by then. https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/will-ecbs-good-place-turn-into-passive-easing-2025-12-09/

In recent days, this forum has also reported that the ECB might have to raise interest rates (next year?), and with the Finnish housing market already in a deep freeze, that certainly isn’t bullish for Admicom. In itself, that wouldn’t matter if the economy were growing, but Finland’s track record for economic growth is a bit weak. I don’t currently own the stock (I sold earlier fearing a potential negative outlook), but I’m watching from the sidelines.

Atte “Doesn’t Play” (Ei leiki) Riikola has written comments on Admicom’s Capital Markets Day.   Admicom organized a Capital Markets Day on Tuesday, the recording of which can be viewed here. The company’s CEO’s CMD interview, in turn, can be viewed here. The day’s presentations added color to achieving the company’s ambitious growth targets, the realization of which depends on the company’s own actions, the gradual recovery of the construction market, and successful international acquisitions. During the weak construction cycle of recent years, Admicom has made significant investments in practically every area of its organization, and after strengthening its growth foundation, the prerequisites for accelerated profitable growth are in place. Our current forecasts are still clearly below the company’s target level after years weighed down by the weak construction cycle. If the targets are met, there would therefore be significant potential in the stock, as we already see the valuation as attractive with our current forecasts. Next, we will go through our key observations from the Capital Markets Day.                   Inderes              Admicom CMD: Lähtökohdat kasvun kiihdyttämiselle ovat erittäin hyvät - Inderes    Admicomin tavoitteiden toteutuminen on yhtiön omien toimien, rakennusmarkkinan asteittaisen elpymisen sekä onnistuneiden kansainvälisten yritysostojen varassa

That was very clear communication from the CEO. In my opinion, they also explained the growth path and strategy quite well, and how those growth targets will be achieved. It will be interesting to follow where the company progresses in the coming years. At least in terms of valuation, it’s a very attractive case!

Admicom’s CMD (Capital Markets Day) today had a really good atmosphere, and the presentations added color to the company’s goals. Those interested in Admicom should definitely watch the entire CMD:                   Inderes              Admicomin pääomamarkkinapäivä 2025 - Inderes    Aika: 02.12.2025 klo 10.00 Kieli: fi Admicomin pääomamarkkinapäivä järjestetään 2.12.2025 klo 10. Tapahtumassa käymme läpi Admicomin strategista kehitystä ja tulevaisuuden suuntaa.                             For those in a hurry, there’s also a more concise interview:                   Inderes              Admicom CMD: Rakennuspalikat vahvalle kasvupolulle - Inderes    Aika: 02.12.2025 klo 14.30 Admicom järjesti pääomamarkkinapäivän, jossa se esitteli uuden strategiansa, päivitetyt keskipitkän aikavälin taloudelliset tavoitteet sekä uudistetun osinkopolitiikan. Yhtiön kunnianhimoiset kasvutavoitteet vahvistavat...                             And naturally, tomorrow there will be my scribblings in the morning review!

I agree that international acquisitions must be made if one wants to be involved in this game in the long run. But Smartcraft’s journey hasn’t been entirely rosy either. Organic growth has trended downwards in recent years. The company’s focus in Finland is still clearly the smallest, so they have been relatively least affected by the weaker-performing Nordic construction market. This certainly also shows that with acquisitions, there are always some leaks and challenges in the acquired targets, which then reflects in organic growth.

In the previous strategy and related messages, there has been a lot of talk about internationalization (see, for example, above), but these international openings are still being awaited from Admicom. Competitor Smartcraft expanded into the British market last year, and that opening has driven sales growth wonderfully. Admicom expanded… to Estonia? Well, that’s better than nothing and a good place to practice internationalization. Now it is stated:  In Finland and Estonia, we have a broad customer base, which puts us in an excellent position to grow together with our customers by serving them better and more broadly. We have also decided to continue international expansion. We will gradually strengthen our internal capabilities in international business while seeking opportunities to expand into new markets through acquisitions, as we did with the acquisition of Bauhub last year.  In the strategy, internationalization is formulated very timidly, even though the markets in Europe are still available for now, and competitors are snatching them up at the same rate as a middle-aged Finn grabs roe and sour cream at the Viking Line buffet. Those organizational games and exercises should have been done earlier, and now, after years of wavering and rowing, we should be able to achieve more active and faster growth abroad. If we now stay at the starting blocks tying our shoelaces and focus entirely on winning supremacy in the domestic, perhaps Europe’s worst, construction market, then this investment is pure trash. Dividends to zero and abroad, please!
