Bulten AB ( (SE:BULTEN) ) just unveiled an update.

Bulten reported a sharp decline in full-year 2025 net sales, down 13.1% to SEK 5,045 million, and a halving of operating earnings as anti-dumping duties, restructuring costs and the fallout from a major customer’s cyberattack weighed on results. Despite the setback, adjusted operating margin held at 4.2%, cash flow from operating activities improved to SEK 429 million and net debt was reduced, prompting the board to prioritize balance-sheet strength by proposing no dividend for 2025, while order intake in the fourth quarter recovered slightly and operating profitability improved versus the prior year’s quarter.
