As of June 2024, the Swedish market continues to attract attention with its robust performance in various sectors, reflecting broader European economic resilience despite global challenges. This backdrop sets a promising stage for growth-oriented companies in Sweden, particularly those with high insider ownership which often signals strong confidence in the company's future from those who know it best.
Top 10 Growth Companies With High Insider Ownership In Sweden
Overview: Attendo AB (publ) operates in the provision of health and care services across Scandinavia and Finland, with a market capitalization of approximately SEK 6.94 billion.
Operations: The company generates SEK 17.63 billion from its Care and Health Care Services segment.
Insider Ownership: 15%
Earnings Growth Forecast: 21.8% p.a.
Attendo, a Swedish company with significant insider ownership, has demonstrated a robust financial performance with earnings growth of 2468.8% over the past year and is forecasted to grow earnings by 21.8% annually. Despite this, its revenue growth at 6.4% per year is modest compared to high-growth benchmarks but exceeds the Swedish market's average. The company's recent strategic initiatives include share repurchases and exploring acquisitions, reflecting an active management approach to capital allocation and business expansion opportunities. However, its Return on Equity is expected to remain low at 9.3%, and it has an unstable dividend track record which might concern income-focused investors.
Overview: Sectra AB (publ) specializes in medical IT and cybersecurity solutions across Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and other European countries, with a market capitalization of SEK 46.55 billion.
Operations: Sectra's revenue is primarily generated from its Imaging IT Solutions and Secure Communications segments, which respectively brought in SEK 2.55 billion and SEK 367.40 million.
Insider Ownership: 30.3%
Earnings Growth Forecast: 19.3% p.a.
Sectra, a Swedish firm with substantial insider ownership, reported strong earnings growth of 14.2% over the past year and forecasts a 19.3% annual increase in earnings, outpacing the Swedish market's average. Its recent product launches, including a diagnostic IT module for genomics and FDA-approved digital pathology solutions, underscore its commitment to innovation in medical imaging and diagnostics. However, its revenue growth forecast of 14.7% annually trails behind higher industry benchmarks but still exceeds general market performance in Sweden.
Overview: Vimian Group AB operates globally in the animal health sector and has a market capitalization of approximately SEK 17.82 billion.
Operations: Vimian Group's revenue is generated from several key segments: Medtech (€109.03 million), Diagnostics (€21.14 million), Specialty Pharma (€153.26 million), and Veterinary Services (€51.63 million).
Insider Ownership: 11%
Earnings Growth Forecast: 58.6% p.a.
Vimian Group, recently profitable, is trading 34.1% below its fair value estimate, signaling potential undervaluation. The company's earnings are expected to increase by a very large margin annually over the next three years, outperforming the Swedish market forecast. Although insider buying has occurred in the past three months, it wasn't substantial. Challenges include low forecasted Return on Equity and significant one-off items impacting earnings quality. Recent leadership changes could influence future strategy and performance.
