Memo
GN STORE NORD A/S (GN.CO). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-06-30.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 9.6 bn DKK in 2025; net margin 6.8%; ROE 6.3%.
The estimated value range is 49.36–76.11 DKK per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 60.71 DKK, the price of 111.10 DKK leaves a potential of -45.4% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -83.0% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

In brief
GN Store Nord A/S is a Danish maker of audio equipment for the office, gaming and hearing markets, active mainly through the Jabra and SteelSeries brands. In 2026 the company is selling its Hearing division to Amplifon and reorganising around the Enterprise and Gaming divisions, amid margin pressure and high debt 1.
SWOT
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Risks
- Dependence on completing the Hearing salehigh
If the transaction with Amplifon is delayed or not completed, the debt reduction plan could be affected.
- Pressure on EMEA revenuehigh
Difficult market conditions and channel inventory reductions could continue to weigh on Enterprise revenue.
- Margins under pressuremedium
One-off costs and launch investments could keep margins low in the short term.
- Level of indebtednessmedium
High adjusted leverage limits financial flexibility until the transaction is completed.
- Trade tariffslow
US tariff policy can affect costs and margins, and refunds are not fully assured.
Investment thesis
What would need to be true (bull case)
- If the Evolve3 and Nova Pro Omni launches keep their momentum, the company could regain growth in the second half of the year.
- Completing the Hearing sale could reduce debt and simplify the company's structure.
- Structural savings could support margins from 2027 if delivered as planned.
What would break the thesis
- If EMEA does not recover, Enterprise revenue could remain under pressure for longer.
- Adjusted margins have declined, and additional investment could limit the return to profitability in the short term.
- Debt remains high until the transaction is completed, which could restrict the company's options.
What to watch
- Completion of the Hearing division sale to Amplifon2026
- Development of organic growth in the Enterprise division, especially in EMEAQ3 2026
- Level of adjusted leverage and net debt after completion of the transaction2026
- Delivery of the structural cost savings2027
Products, market & competition
AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.
The business
GN Store Nord operates two continuing divisions: Enterprise, which sells headsets and conference solutions for the office, and Gaming, which includes the SteelSeries brand. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Enterprise generated revenue of DKK 1,558 million and Gaming DKK 613 million 1. The Hearing division has been classified as discontinued operations, as the company announced its sale to Amplifon, with completion expected by the end of 2026 1.
The company reported an adj. EBITA margin of 5.1% in Q2 2026, compared with 7.1% in the same period a year earlier, a decline influenced by one-off costs linked to the transaction 1. The group expects structural savings of around DKK 200 million on a run-rate basis from 2027 1.
The capital structure remains stretched: net interest-bearing debt fell to DKK 9,566 million, while adjusted leverage reached 4.4x, compared with 4.0x in Q2 2025 1. The company expects the DKK 12.6 billion cash proceeds from the Hearing sale to change this level materially at closing 1.
Market context
The office equipment market remains difficult in EMEA, while North America and APAC grew solidly, according to the company's report 1. For the Gaming division, the company assumes modest market growth in 2026, with important game launches towards year-end but a slower recovery than previously assumed 1.
The 2026 guidance assumes Enterprise returns to positive organic growth in the second half of the year and that Gaming could deliver double-digit growth in the same period, if these assumptions hold 1. The recovery still depends on macroeconomic conditions and consumer behaviour 1.
Trends
- Evolve3 and Nova Pro Omni launchestailwind
Recent launches supported sell-out growth and share gains in the premium segment, which could support revenue in the second half of the year 1.
- Pressure from EMEA market conditionsheadwind
Conditions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa remain challenging, and channel inventory reductions have weighed on reported revenue in recent quarters 1.
- US tariffs and refundsmixed
The company has applied for refunds of US IEEPA tariffs and expects refunds that could support margins in the second half of 2026 1. Tariff costs had previously pressured gross margins 1.
- Restructuring and cost reductionmixed
The cost programme could improve profitability from 2027, but it involves significant one-off restructuring and transition costs 1.
Competitive position
GN faces competition from makers of office headsets and conference systems, as well as from brands specialised in gaming peripherals. The source document does not name competitors, so the analysis is limited to the company's position in its segments.
The company's competitive position rests on innovation and strong brands; Gaming gained share in headsets, while Enterprise lost ground in EMEA 1. Competitive pressure could rise if demand stays weak in key regions 1.
- Office headset makers
Direct competition in the Enterprise segment, not named in the source.
- Gaming headset makers
Competition in the Gaming segment, where the company has gained share.
- Video conference system makers
Competition for video bar and meeting room solutions.
- Gaming peripherals makers
Competition for keyboards and mice, categories with mixed results in the quarter.
