Rating:61Neutral
Price Target:
kr118.00
▼(-10.47% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:04/30/26
The score is primarily supported by solid cash conversion and a stable balance sheet, with a high dividend yield adding support. These positives are tempered by weak technical momentum (price below key moving averages with bearish indicators) and softer top-line/returns, while the earnings call suggests gradual improvement but ongoing restructuring and growth headwinds.
Positive Factors
Strong cash generation
Sustained TTM operating and free cash flow near SEK 2.0bn demonstrates durable cash conversion across the business. Reliable FCF close to reported earnings supports reinvestment, dividend continuity and deleveraging, reducing financing risk and enabling strategic spending over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Negative organic and reported sales growth
Sustained negative organic and reported sales indicate weaker end-market demand and pricing pressure, limiting topline momentum. If organic contraction persists it will constrain margin recovery, utilization targets and the pace at which backlog converts to invoicing over the coming quarters.

AFRY AB Class B Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 05, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 15, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a balanced but improving picture: clear operational and financial stabilization indicators (backlog growth +5.4% currency-adjusted, improved EBITA margin to 8.7%, utilization rebound to 72.8%, strong cash flow, deleveraging and an unchanged dividend) alongside material near-term challenges (negative organic growth -4.3%, total growth -6.2%, sizeable FX and calendar headwinds, and restructuring costs). Management emphasized that restructuring benefits and margin improvements will materialize further in 2026, and strategic wins and strong backlog provide momentum. On balance, the positive operational progress, strengthened balance sheet and validated market positions outweigh the current headwinds and near-term costs.Positive Updates

Company Guidance

IAC SEK 577m (EBITA margin 8.7% vs 8.3% LY), rolling 12‑month net sales SEK 25.8bn and EBITA just under SEK 1.9bn, order backlog SEK 20.4bn (currency‑adjusted +5.4% y/y), Q4 utilization 72.8% (+0.5 pp y/y) with a 2028 target of 74% full‑year utilization (~+2 pp from mid‑2025), and a strong balance sheet (available liquidity SEK 4.4bn, net debt <SEK 4bn, leverage 2.5x) while the Board proposes an unchanged dividend of SEK 6 per share.AFRY AB Class B Financial Statement Overview
