Proven numbersAcceleratingAI verdict · as of 2026-07-21

The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

EQT AB +19% day move on Intertek £9.2B deal — the Swedish PE firm plus Google AI partnership into Oct 15.

EQT AB is a large-cap Swedish private equity firm — private-capital and real-asset investments across a global portfolio of companies. The stock is -17% YTD (-3% TTM) at 49% of range with a specific +19% single-day move into Oct 15.

  • Business is accelerating: Q4 revenue grew 21% YoY to $1.36B at 68% gross margin and 39% op margin — real fee-generation acceleration with substantial operating-leverage flow-through.
  • Multiple elevated: 47x TTM P/E and 14x P/S — priced for continued private-market cycle execution; consensus 2027 EPS $1.64 implies ~20x forward.
  • Cash generation is decent: 1.2% FCF yield with $948M Q4 FCF — real fee-based cash conversion supporting the PE-manager quality anchor.
  • The UK Intertek £9.2B ($14B) takeover by EQT is the specific catalyst: a headline PE deal-execution signal that anchors the +19% single-day move on real strategic-plus-fee validation.
  • The Google AI adoption partnership plus continued portfolio-execution activity signal EQT's platform-scale technology-driven positioning in the PE landscape.

Oct 15 print with continued fee-generation growth AND explicit commentary on the Intertek deal integration plus PE portfolio-execution progression pulls EQBBF toward $40+. What extends the coil is a soft fee-generation print or continued private-market cycle softness commentary — the -17% YTD plus 49% of range plus 47x TTM P/E requires continued execution against the Intertek-plus-PE-cycle thesis for continued rerating.

What to watch: Oct 15 Q3 earnings — continued fee-generation growth plus Intertek deal integration and PE portfolio-execution progression commentary pulls EQBBF toward $40+; a soft fee-generation print or continued private-market cycle softness commentary extends the coil — -17% YTD plus 49% of range plus 47x P/E requires Intertek-plus-PE-cycle validation.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
47.3How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
7.8%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
41.3%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
1.2%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
13.9Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
9.8%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
61.7%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.4Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
