Indutrade AB ( (SE:INDT) ) has issued an update.

Indutrade AB reported a flat start to 2026, with first-quarter net sales unchanged at SEK 8.1 billion despite slightly stronger demand and a 2% rise in order intake to SEK 8.6 billion. The mixed sector picture saw robust orders from medical technology, pharmaceuticals, energy and parts of the process industry, while infrastructure and construction softened and longer lead times weighed on the Process, Energy & Water division.

Profitability eased modestly, as EBITA slipped 2% to SEK 1.07 billion and the margin edged down to 13.3%, reflecting weak sales growth and slightly higher costs despite solid gross margins and positive acquisition effects. Cash flow from operating activities remained stable at SEK 638 million and the balance sheet stayed strong, while three acquisitions with combined annual sales of SEK 625 million, including Danish expansion joint maker Belman and Italian auto parts trader CAT Ricambi, underpinned Indutrade’s continued buy-and-build growth strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:INDT) stock is a Buy with a SEK245.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Indutrade AB stock, see the SE:INDT Stock Forecast page.
