Safe Life Partial Exit Validates Conservative Valuations and Creates Capital for Growth

Idea source: Kavaljer

Price 268 SEK (2025-07-10)

Byggmästaren Anders J Ahlström Holding AB - Swedish investment company focused on small-to-medium enterprises across the Nordic region with an active ownership approach. Listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Mid Cap.

Ticker: AJAB | Timeframe: 12-18 months | 📈 Bullish

Kavaljer believes that Byggmästaren’s partial divestment of Safe Life to Bridgepoint for SEK 525 million represents a significant valuation validation event that should help narrow the company’s NAV discount. The analyst notes that the 15% valuation increase confirms conservative internal assessments, while the transaction also lowers portfolio concentration risk from 48% to 30% of NAV. Kavaljer argues that the freed capital, along with the ongoing 17% NAV discount, presents an attractive opportunity for value realization through potential share buybacks.

  • Setup: Swedish investment company trading at 17% discount to NAV with concentrated exposure to high-growth private assets

  • Latest Development: Partial Safe Life exit validates conservative valuations with 15% uplift to previous marks

  • Reason for Mispricing: Valuation uncertainty around private holdings, particularly Safe Life concentration risk

  • Timing: Transaction completion expected Q3 2025, coinciding with improved portfolio diversification

  • Value Catalysts: Share buyback programs, remaining Safe Life exposure to continued growth, portfolio optimization

  • Upside Potential: NAV discount compression plus organic growth in remaining portfolio companies
