Atlas Copco Posts Solid Q1 as Vacuum Demand Lifts Orders and Revenue

Atlas Copco AB ( ($SE:ATCO.A) ) has shared an update.

Atlas Copco delivered a solid first quarter of 2026, with customer activity remaining high and demand improving year-on-year, particularly for vacuum equipment, which helped drive organic growth in both orders and revenues. Order intake reached MSEK 45,395, an organic increase of 5%, while revenues grew 3% organically to MSEK 40,540, underscoring resilient end-market demand despite geopolitical uncertainties.

Profitability remained strong, with operating profit of MSEK 8,261 and a margin of 20.4%, slightly above the prior year, though adjusted operating profit and return on capital employed were somewhat lower, indicating some pressure on returns. Management noted that the geopolitical situation, including tensions in the Middle East, has so far had limited direct financial impact but continues to add uncertainty, and the group currently expects customer activity to stay around present levels in the near term.

The most recent analyst rating on ($SE:ATCO.A) stock is a Buy with a SEK220.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Atlas Copco AB stock, see the SE:ATCO.A Stock Forecast page.
