Borg is a former Swedish tennis player, considered one of the most significant players in the history of the sport. Between 1974 and 1981, he won 11 Grand Slam tournaments and represented Sweden, winning the Davis Cup once. Borg achieved the ITF World Championship from 1978–1980 and was named Player of the Year from 1976–1980.
Björn Borg is also a brand, known especially for its underwear, but its selection also includes sportswear, shoes, bags, and a bit of everything else. It is, therefore, a kind of sports fashion brand. ![]()
Björn Borg operates in approximately 20 different market areas, the largest of which are Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, and Germany. In 2023, over 80% of the company’s revenue came from these four markets, which was a big surprise to me. I thought the brand was more widely distributed around the world. The company’s strong position in its home country is based on its extensive retail network and its own online store.
The company has grown by an average of 6% per year between 2013 and 2023. The company’s revenue growth has been slower than its competitors, but the company has recently focused on expanding its sportswear offering, which has helped diversify its business. In my opinion, the clothes are nice and probably high quality, but as a gym-goer, I haven’t seen a reason to buy the company’s products, because perfectly good and perhaps more functional clothes can be bought cheaper (extremely interesting information for investors
)
In 2023, Björn Borg’s revenue was 892 million Swedish kronor (I thought it was a much larger company), which represents a 4% increase from the previous year. The company’s operating profit (EBIT) was 101 million kronor, equivalent to 12% of revenue. Online sales grew significantly, forming 41% of the company’s total sales in 2023, but I cannot say how this compares to other competitors.
More for investors:
Björn Borg has a strong brand, but it is also susceptible to fluctuations in fashion trends, which can affect sales. Competition in the fashion industry is tough, but the company has been able to raise prices, which speaks to the strength of its brand.
Björn Borg offers profitable growth with a strong brand. The company has regularly paid dividends due to its good profitability and stable balance sheet, which provides investors with continuous cash flow.

Björn Borg has a strong track record of profitable growth, consistently generating value for its shareholders. We see solid growth opportunities in key markets for this strong Nordic brand. The valuation of P/E 15x and EV/EBIT 11x for 2025 looks moderate and a combination of dividends and earnings growth should give around 10-15% expected return.
