AcadeMedia (OM:ACAD) Raises Its Dividend, Is The Stock Still Undervalued?

AcadeMedia (OM:ACAD) has drawn fresh attention after announcing an annual dividend of SEK 2.80 per share, payable on 9 December 2026, with the ex-date set for 3 December.

The SEK 2.80 dividend decision comes after a strong run in AcadeMedia’s shares, with a 30-day share price return of 18.83% and a year-to-date gain of 19.55%, while the 3-year total shareholder return of 159.38% points to momentum that has been building over a longer period.

Scan how AcadeMedia’s dividend move compares by lining up its profile against a hand picked 221 dividend fortresses that combine income potential with resilient fundamentals.

After that kind of share price and dividend reset from AcadeMedia, the real tension now is simple. Is most of the upside already in the rear view mirror, or does the current valuation still leave meaningful room ahead?

Most Popular Narrative: 8% Undervalued

On the latest numbers, AcadeMedia trades at SEK118 against a narrative fair value of about SEK128.33. The current price therefore sits below what that widely followed thesis implies, even after the recent share price run.

The target to lift the share of Adult Education and international operations from around 41% of the business to 50%, backed by recent acquisitions and integration work, points to a further shift in mix toward areas that currently show higher margins and can support group EBIT and margin development.
