Duni narrows sales decline but profits weaken in tough first quarter

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Duni AB ( (SE:DUNI) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Duni AB reported first-quarter 2026 net sales of SEK 1,764m, down from SEK 1,863m a year earlier, with currency-adjusted sales almost flat and organic decline narrowing to 1.2% despite persistently weak European demand. Operating income slipped to SEK 100m from SEK 110m and earnings per share fell sharply, weighed by lower volumes, an unfavorable product mix in the restaurant segment and a weaker financial net, although currency tailwinds provided some offset.

The group pressed ahead with its logistics and portfolio strategy, making the first deliveries from a new external warehouse in Meppen, Germany, which is set for full implementation by summer to support efficiency. It also agreed to acquire Solserv Solutions & Services Europe AB, a move aimed at strengthening the Duniform unit’s industrial packaging and after-sales offering, signaling continued investment in value-added services even amid a challenging market backdrop.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:DUNI) stock is a Buy with a SEK113.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Duni AB stock, see the SE:DUNI Stock Forecast page.
