EQT XI Target Size Analysis Summary

Market Dynamics

• Target Size Set: EQT announced a €23bn target size for EQT XI, slightly above the initial €22bn EQT X; Citigroup embeds €24.5bn for EQT XI.
• Market Reaction: The target size likely implies a low-amplitude share price reaction (+/-1% based on consensus estimates), though a small upside vs. initial target.
• Upsizing Context: The €23bn target represents a 5% increase over the prior EQT X; still below Visible Alpha's €24.6bn and Citigroup's €24.5bn.

Analyst Commentary

• Timing Surprise: Announcement timing is unexpected; EQT typically sets targets near final funding stages but is only 50-55% invested in EQT X.
• Notification: EQT XI is scheduled for activation in mid-2026.
• Pipeline Questions: Publication of target size is seen as possibly indicative of a strong pipeline.

Rating and Target

• Citi Rating: Neutral.
• Target Price: SEK270 (approx. $36,042), implying a ~0.9% downside from current price.
• Outlook: Neutral due to modest upside relative to Citi's downbeat view and overly optimistic peer assumptions in pre-money deals.

Valuation

• DCF Model: Fair value derived from sum-of-the-parts approach, discounting FRE and PRE at 10% and 15% WACCs, with a 4% terminal growth rate.
• Key Metrics: Target price reflects management fee (~7% market cap) and rights involved.

Key Risks

1. Fund Underperformance: Effects on carried interest earnings.
2. Fundraising Shortfall: Immediate impact on revenue.
3. Margin Improvement Delays: Risk to financial targets.
4. Fundraising Timing: Concentration of EQT's funding risks slip into longer-term forecasts.
