The latest announcement is out from Investor AB ( ($SE:INVE.A) ).

Investor AB reported a strong fourth quarter of 2025, with adjusted net asset value rising 6 percent to SEK 1,087.1 billion and total shareholder return of 13 percent, substantially outperforming the SIXRX index. For the full year, adjusted NAV grew 14 percent and total shareholder return reached 15 percent, supported by a 22 percent return from Listed Companies and a 15 percent value increase in EQT holdings, while Patricia Industries delivered modest quarterly gains but a negative full-year return, weighed down by currency effects and restructuring costs. Within Patricia Industries, major subsidiaries saw 5 percent organic sales growth in constant currency despite a 5 percent decline in reported sales, and healthcare subsidiary Mölnlycke posted 3 percent organic sales growth with margin improvement driven by cost efficiencies and product mix, partly offset by currency and tariff headwinds. Investor maintained a conservative balance sheet with leverage of 2.1 percent, SEK 27.1 billion in gross cash and a long debt maturity profile, and the board proposed raising the dividend to SEK 5.60 per share for 2025, payable in two installments, underscoring confidence in cash flow and capital strength amid expectations that currency headwinds, tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty will persist into 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on ($SE:INVE.A) stock is a Buy with a SEK362.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Investor AB stock, see the SE:INVE.A Stock Forecast page.
