The latest announcement is out from HMS Networks AB ( (SE:HMS) ).

HMS Networks AB reported a strong 2025, with fourth-quarter net sales up 18% year-on-year and full-year net sales rising 17%, underpinned by solid organic growth, record deliveries and an adjusted operating margin improving to 28.2% in the quarter and 25.5% for the year. Despite a slight fourth-quarter dip in order intake and a one-off tax expense linked to the 2024 Red Lion acquisition, the company delivered record operating profit, robust cash flow, and kept net debt within its long-term leverage target, while demand improved gradually across regions, notably in Europe and North America. Strategic moves included a new organizational structure to sharpen customer focus and cross-selling, new long-term financial and strategic targets, and the agreed acquisition—now completed—of Molex’s industrial communications business, which strengthens HMS’s Industrial Network Technology offering, broadens its product portfolio and cross-selling potential, and supports its ambition for continued profitable growth through both organic development and acquisitions; the board also reinstated a dividend, proposing SEK 4.80 per share.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:HMS) stock is a Hold with a SEK419.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on HMS Networks AB stock, see the SE:HMS Stock Forecast page.
