Bulls say / Bears say
AcadeMedia delivered strong FY2025/26 momentum, with revenue up 7.0% to SEK 20.36 billion, adjusted EBITA up 15.3% to SEK 1.516 billion, and the margin improving to 7.4%. (Nasdaq)
Demand appears robust: preliminary enrolment for the 2026/27 academic year increased approximately 8.0% to around 122,100 children and students, supporting volume growth and revenue visibility. (Nasdaq)
International expansion is providing a growth engine, with seven acquisitions during FY2025/26 and further Dutch and Polish preschool/school acquisitions announced after year-end, broadening AcadeMedia’s geographic and educational offering. (Nasdaq)
Leverage and financing costs remain a risk: net debt excluding IFRS 16 rose to SEK 1.918 billion from SEK 953 million, while full-year net financial expense increased to SEK 730 million. (Nasdaq)
AcadeMedia remains exposed to political and regulatory changes, student-funding decisions, qualified-staff shortages, quality/compliance issues and demographic shifts—risks the company specifically identifies as material. (Nasdaq)
Growth is uneven across segments: upper-secondary adjusted EBITA declined 2.4% for the year and its margin fell to 8.5% from 8.8%, while the group continues to incur acquisition and integration costs. (Nasdaq)
