I will present a class of models in which the Higgs and an additional scalar are pseudo-Goldstone bosons. I will show that, for appropriate symmetry-breaking patterns, the extra scalar is predicted to be stable and hence a good dark matter candidate. All couplings and masses -and therefore all low-energy observables- are also predicted, provided the model is to explain the whole relic abundance in the universe.
