EQT AB. The Private Equity Firm Valuation


EQT AB Group or EQT is a Stockholm, Sweden global, leading alternative asset manager.

EQT operates 270 billion EURs of assets under management of which 141 billion EURs are fee paying assets under management. 

EQT's current market capitalization is 33.78 billion EURs.

EQT's net income for 2025 was 728 million EURs on 2.632 billion EURs revenue.

EQT has invested large part of its recently raised private equity assets in artificial intelligence, AI technology firms leveraged buyouts, its recently raised real estate assets into artificial intelligence, AI related data centers.

EQT is is undervalued in a base case scenario, namely AI adoption and productivity increase growing moderately, with intrinsic value of EQT of 39 billion EURs, according to Wolfteam Ltd.'s projections and estimates.

If AI lives up to the most optimistic forecasts of Wall Street research analysts and investors and of Silicon Valley technologists and investors and changes deeply our world by profoundly increasing humanity's productivity, EQT's market capitalization could rise to 59 billion EURs.

If on the other hand, the current artificial intelligence, AI boom turns into a bust and the Nasdaq Composite falls more than 62 % from its recent all time high, EQT's market capitalization could fall to 12 billion EURs, according to Wolfteam Ltd.'s projections and estimates.

In short, EQT's value is deeply intertwined with artificial intelligence, AI's development, like basically all other leading private equity, real estate, private credit, infrastructure alternative asset managers like Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, Carlyle, Ares, Blue Owl, CVC, etc.'s fate. Because the leading alternative asset managers have to a large extent underwritten the current artificial intelligence, AI boom.
