An announcement from Ework Group AB ( (SE:EWRK) ) is now available.

Ework Group AB reported a weak 2025, with net sales down 13% to SEK 13.7 billion and order intake falling 12%, reflecting softer demand and fewer professionals on assignment. Profitability was squeezed despite a slightly higher gross margin, as EBIT dropped 35% to SEK 123 million and profit before tax fell 46%, partly due to write-offs of older IT investments and restructuring costs.

In the fourth quarter, trends mirrored the full year, with net sales down 13%, order intake off 14% and EBIT slumping 70%, though underlying earnings excluding non-recurring items were more resilient. The board proposed cutting the dividend to SEK 4 from SEK 7 per share, underscoring the pressure on cash returns to shareholders amid lower earnings and highlighting a more cautious stance in a challenging market for consultant staffing.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:EWRK) stock is a Hold with a SEK101.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ework Group AB stock, see the SE:EWRK Stock Forecast page.
