Stockwik is a Swedish serial acquirer operating 18 subsidiaries within four business segments: Healthcare, Industry, Property Services and Business Services. It has an acquisition-driven business model, with an average of two acquisitions made p.a. since its inception in 2013, with 18 acquisitions in total. Recently, the company has increased its pace of acquisitions and has made 13 out of the 18 acquisitions in the last three years. Stockwik acquires companies with a long history of profitability and with exposure to resilient end-markets. The group structure is decentralised, enabling group management to focus on adding new companies to the group.
Acquisitions are an integral part of the business model. If prices on targets rise, this would hurt the company. If the economy weakens, this could affect the earnings stability of acquisition targets, and thus prolong negotiations.
