An announcement from Cint Group AB ( (SE:CINT) ) is now available.

Cint Group AB reported weaker 2025 results as net sales fell 9.5 percent to EUR 150.4 million, but it preserved high gross margins and improved adjusted earnings while generating strong operating cash flow of EUR 43.3 million. A large non-cash impairment of EUR 193.2 million related to the Lucid acquisition pushed full-year EBIT deep into negative territory, leading the board to propose no dividend and leaving earnings per share in loss despite positive results excluding impairment.

Operationally, the fourth quarter showed stabilization after a difficult third quarter, with Cint Exchange volumes improving, Media Measurement rebounding, and working capital measures helping the company move into a net cash position for the first time since acquiring Lucid. Management is now shifting focus from platform consolidation to innovation, including new APIs, expanded social and cookieless measurement capabilities, and the creation of a dedicated Data unit, alongside CFO transition, as it targets a return to growth in 2026 under its Cint 2.0 strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:CINT) stock is a Hold with a SEK2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cint Group AB stock, see the SE:CINT Stock Forecast page.
