An announcement from Indutrade AB ( (SE:INDT) ) is now available.

In its year-end report for 2025, Indutrade AB reported that market conditions remained uncertain and overall demand was weak, yet the group managed to improve its underlying profitability and maintain strong cash generation. In the fourth quarter, order intake rose 2% and organic orders increased 3%, particularly supported by customers in energy, water/wastewater, infrastructure and construction, while medical technology and pharmaceutical demand remained solid; however, net sales dipped 1% and reported EBITA fell 10% due to non-recurring project cost issues in two UK companies. Excluding these non-recurring items, the EBITA margin strengthened to 14.9% on the back of a robust gross margin, with the Industrial & Engineering business area showing the strongest sales and margin performance. For the full year, net sales reached SEK 32.2 billion with an EBITA margin of 13.8% and free operating cash flow of SEK 3.5 billion, supported by inventory reductions that helped keep operating cash flow high, while leverage remained low and the financial position strong. Indutrade continued to execute its acquisition-driven growth strategy, completing 13 acquisitions in 2025 with combined annual sales of about SEK 1.3 billion and expanding its footprint to Spain for the first time, and the board proposed a slightly higher dividend, underscoring confidence in the company’s cash flow and balance sheet strength despite lower earnings.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:INDT) stock is a Hold with a SEK255.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Indutrade AB stock, see the SE:INDT Stock Forecast page.
