SEB SA

SEB SA maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.07, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing, while its current ratio of 1.27 suggests limited short-term liquidity coverage. The company's cash and equivalents of EUR 118.3 million are significantly lower than its long-term debt of EUR 3.46 billion, resulting in a negative net cash position. This liquidity profile aligns with the "medium" liquidity risk rating, as the firm's operating cash flow of EUR 204.4 million is insufficient to cover its debt obligations without external financing. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 7.56% and a return on assets (ROA) of 2.57%, both below the industry median for the Appliances, Tools & Housewares sector. The net income of EUR 244.6 million represents a 3.0% margin on revenue, which is in line with the sector's average but reflects a relatively low margin structure for a consumer goods company. The company's revenue is concentrated in a single business segment, with no disclosed geographic diversification in the provided data. This lack of segment or geographic diversification increases exposure to regional economic downturns and shifts in consumer demand. Looking ahead, SEB SA is projected to experience modest revenue growth, though specific numeric deltas for the current and next fiscal years are not provided in the input data. The company's capital expenditure of EUR -221.6 million indicates a net outflow, suggesting ongoing investment in operations or asset maintenance. The risk assessment highlights a "medium" liquidity risk and a "low" dilution risk. The firm's negative net cash position and reliance on operating cash flow to service debt obligations pose a moderate threat to liquidity. However, the absence of significant dilution risk suggests that the company is not currently issuing shares at a pace that would materially dilute existing shareholders. Recent events include analyst price targets ranging from EUR 60.00 to EUR 190.00, with a mean of EUR 83.17 and a median of EUR 74.00. The mean recommendation of 1.92 (on a 1–5 scale) indicates a generally positive outlook among analysts, with 4 strong-buy and 6 buy ratings.
