As IAR launches its long-awaited SaaS transition in 2025e, we expect earnings to come under pressure short-term, but its defensive recurring revenues, strong balance sheet and share buybacks should mitigate share-price volatility.

Having laid off 11% of its employees, launched its new integrated safety, security, and compliance solution in Q2, and planned broader SaaS transformation.

Given its net cash position (8% of its market cap) and decade-low valuation multiples, we see potential for it to utilise its share buyback mandate. We have raised our 2023–2024e adj.
