"We reiterate our BUY rating, raising our TP from Eu3.75 to Eu4.60 on the back of an updated DCF that features a WACC of 8.3% (downf rom 9.3%), a lower risk-free rate (from 4.5% to 4.0%) and a lower additional equity isk premium for small caps (from 1.0% to 0.5%).
At our TP, CYB would still be at a~ 40% discount vs. cyber security players.
Our investment case and positive view relieso n: i) exposure to a fast-growing market segment, with a leading position in the Italian MDR market; ii) resilience of its 3-level SOCs; iii) solido client acquisition (250 newc clients on average a year), with a very low churn rate (~2%); iv) an attractive business
model based on recurring revenues and multiyear contracts, combined with high margins and good cash generation.
Furthermore, a successful startup may showcaset he replicability of the business model also in other European countries (Spain andP ortugal) and provide additional upside to our estimates and valuation.
Finally, Gartner’s recognition of CYB among the top 50 vendors of MDR in the world, and the nly Italian among the 12 European firms chosen, completes the picture."
