Eleving Group announces that LHV Bank released a comprehensive initiation report on December 19, 2024. The report analyzes the company’s business model, market strategy, and growth potential and evaluates its risk and profitability among peer group competitors.

LHV Bank has initiated coverage of Eleving Group with a “Buy” rating, setting a price target of EUR 2.20 per share. Based on the share price of EUR 1.65 as of December 20, 2024, this target implies a 39% total return potential over the next 12 months. The valuation places Eleving Group’s fair equity value at EUR 260 million.

While LHV acknowledges the elevated risk associated with Eleving Group’s operations, the report emphasizes the company’s proven track record in risk management and consistent profitability, both metrics exceeding industry averages. This combination positions Eleving Group as a unique “higher-risk, higher-reward" investment opportunity in an undervalued industry.
