Arizona Tribune - Emerging Growth Research Maintains Buy-Extended Rating on SBC Medical Group Holdings, Inc. with $9.00 Price Target Following Strategic U.S. Market Entry

The Flash Report highlights SBC's major milestone entry into the United States medical aesthetics market through a strategic minority equity investment and structured collaboration framework with OrangeTwist, a leading U.S.-based MedSpa chain. This transaction marks a pivotal expansion in SBC's global growth strategy and follows the Company's prudent phased approach to international M&A.

Key Highlights from the Flash Report:

• U.S. Market Entry: SBC has completed a strategic minority equity investment in OrangeTwist alongside longstanding shareholders Hildred Capital and Athyrium Capital, marking the beginning of full-scale, multi-year strategic expansion in the key U.S. medical aesthetics growth market.

• Strategic Partnership: OrangeTwist operates 24 locations across 6 U.S. states, specializing in non-invasive aesthetic treatments with strong medical oversight and data-driven clinical operations. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of injectable, energy-based, and regenerative treatments.

• Operational Synergies: Both companies will pursue joint operations leveraging cross-border synergies between the U.S. and Asia to support long-term growth opportunities. OrangeTwist's advanced management system integrating procurement, clinical workflows, and real-time KPI tracking aligns with SBC's operational expertise.

• Revenue Stabilization: Following year-over-year revenue pressure through early 2025, SBC's revenue growth stabilized sequentially in Q3:25, with management expecting renewed growth in early-2026 supported by global expansion initiatives.

• Strong Financial Position: SBC maintains a robust balance sheet with ample net cash (approximately 40% of current market capitalization) and minimal debt (Debt/MV Equity of just 5%), providing significant financial flexibility for strategic investments and M&A activities.

• Prudent Expansion Strategy: SBC's international expansion follows a disciplined 3-phase implementation process: entry, scale, and leadership. This approach involves partnering with high-performing regional operators, deploying SBC's differentiated operating expertise, and securing first-mover advantages.

• Significant Upside Potential: Despite strong recovery from ~$3.00/share lows, SBC shares remain heavily undervalued both traditionally and via DCF analysis. The firm's analysis indicates substantial upside, especially net of the Company's ample cash position.

According to Emerging Growth Research's analysis, SBC has successfully navigated near-term competitive pressures while maintaining its position as a cash generation machine with 25 years of operational excellence. The Company's accomplished founder and management team have shepherded SBC from a solo clinic in 2000 to become a global cosmetic treatment center franchiser with operations across Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and now the United States.

The OrangeTwist investment represents a major milestone in SBC's long-term vision to expand from 258 clinics currently to 1,000 clinics over ten years, supported by domestic organic growth and strategic M&A across key global markets.
