Smartbroker Holding: Growth pushed back, 2026 earnings outlook improved - GBC

On 30 October 2026, Smartbroker Holding AG adjusted its guidance for the 2026 financial year by way of an ad hoc announcement. The adjustment pushes cus- tomer growth back into 2027 but raises the earnings range for 2026. Our previous EBITDA estimate of EUR 0.50 million sits exactly at the midpoint of the new range, whereas our revenue estimate of EUR 70.00 million is at the upper end.


Forecasts

We are lowering our 2026 revenue forecast to EUR 67.50 million (previously: EUR 70.00 million), in line with the midpoint of the new range. We are leaving our EBITDA forecast unchanged at EUR 0.50 million and consider the upper end of EUR 2.00 million achievable given disciplined marketing spending. EBIT and net income therefore also remain unchanged.

We are confirming our forecasts for 2027 and 2028. Due to the lower base, implied revenue growth for 2027 rises from 18.6% to 23.0%. We consider this achievable, as pent-up demand should translate into new account openings once the subsidy starts in January 2027, and the broader platform supports the monetisation of ex- isting customers.

The risk is therefore now concentrated in the first quarter of 2027. Should demand for the retirement savings account fall short of expectations, our 2027 forecasts would need to be reviewed. New customer numbers at the start of the year are therefore the key operating indicator to watch.


Valuation

With EBITDA unchanged, the lower 2026 revenue forecast has no material impact on fair value. Based on our DCF model, we confirm our price target of EUR 17.80 and our BUY rating.
