An announcement from Clas Ohlson AB ( ($SE:CLAS.B) ) is now available.

Clas Ohlson reported a strong start to the calendar year with January net sales rising 12% to SEK 1,005m, marking its first-ever January above the SEK 1bn threshold. Growth was driven primarily by 13% organic expansion, aided by an expanded store network and demand across all prioritised product niches, with an extra lift from weather-related products amid cold conditions in its core markets. The retailer’s home markets of Sweden, Norway and Finland delivered double-digit January growth, although the weaker Norwegian krone continued to weigh on reported figures when translated into Swedish kronor. For the period May 2025 to January 2026, net sales increased 7% to SEK 9,903m, underpinned by 9% organic growth, underscoring Clas Ohlson’s solid operational momentum despite currency headwinds and weaker performance in smaller ‘other markets’.

The most recent analyst rating on ($SE:CLAS.B) stock is a Sell with a SEK320.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Clas Ohlson AB stock, see the SE:CLAS.B Stock Forecast page.
