Lindab International AB ( (SE:LIAB) ) just unveiled an update.

Lindab International AB reported lower sales but stronger profitability for full-year 2025, driven mainly by its Ventilation Systems division, which achieved organic growth and higher adjusted operating profit despite negative currency effects. Profile Systems, by contrast, continued to struggle with weak project volumes, prompting further restructuring, including the completed divestment of Hungarian profile operations and an agreed sale of Romanian activities.

For the fourth quarter, group net sales fell 5 percent to SEK 3,134m while the adjusted operating margin improved to 6.5 percent, lifting adjusted operating profit to SEK 203m and turning operating profit positive versus a loss a year earlier. Over the full year, net sales declined 4 percent to SEK 12,854m, but operating margin widened to 8.5 percent and profit more than doubled to SEK 760m, allowing the board to propose a slightly higher dividend, signalling confidence in the company’s profitability-focused strategy despite a softer market.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:LIAB) stock is a Hold with a SEK194.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lindab International AB stock, see the SE:LIAB Stock Forecast page.
