▼(-8.68% Downside)
Action:DowngradedDate:02/18/26
The score is primarily supported by improving fundamentals (growth, profitability, and strong free cash flow) and a positive earnings-call outlook with margin guidance and enhanced shareholder returns. It is held back by weak technicals (price below key moving averages and negative MACD) and a valuation that is not cheap at ~28x earnings, alongside financial watch-outs like the 2025 gross-margin step-down and rising leverage.
Positive Factors
Recurring Revenue Base
A ~39% recurring support revenue share materially improves revenue predictability and reduces reliance on one-off license timing. This durable stream supports steady cash generation, planning visibility, margin stability and underpins the company’s upgraded dividend policy and medium-term investment capacity.
Strong Free Cash Flow
High free cash flow that tracks closely to net income shows the business converts profits into cash sustainably. This strengthens funding for R&D, regulatory processes, dividends and potential buybacks, while providing buffer for operating seasonality or strategic investments over the next several quarters.
AI Adoption and Clinical Momentum
Large-scale AI usage and clinical milestones deliver a structural competitive edge: improved productivity for customers, faster plan workflows, and demonstrable clinical outcomes. These entrenched capabilities increase switching costs, support product differentiation and should help adoption over the medium term.
Negative Factors
RayCare Adoption Lag / Regulatory Timing
Very limited RayCare orders and dependence on regulatory clears (EU online adaptive, US 510(k), chemo module timing) mean expansion of a strategic platform is delayed. Slower regulatory rollout will constrain revenue diversification and the anticipated RayCare ramp for multiple quarters to years.
Rising Leverage
An increased debt-to-equity ratio and rising total debt reduce financial flexibility. With ongoing regulatory and commercialization investments needed, higher leverage raises refinancing and covenant risk and limits optionality for opportunistic M&A or larger buybacks during adverse cycles.
Gross-Margin Pressure
A material gross-margin decline suggests cost pressure or adverse mix shifts that can erode operating leverage. If persistent, this reduces the durability of current EBIT margins and constrains free cash flow expansion, making margin targets and higher shareholder distributions harder to sustain.

RaySearch Laboratories AB Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 12, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a broadly positive operational and commercial picture: record revenues, strong organic growth, improving profitability and cash position, significant clinical milestones and substantial AI adoption/use cases. Key negatives are material currency headwinds, a book-to-bill ratio below 1 and slower-than-desired traction for RayCare (partly tied to regulatory timing). Management expects margin improvement (target at least 25% for 2026) and a RayCare ramp in coming years, and has strengthened shareholder returns with a higher dividend and a 50% payout policy.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Record Q4 and Full-Year Net Sales
Q4 net sales SEK 375 million, +16% YoY (all-time high). Full-year 2025 net sales SEK 1.344 billion, +13% YoY; organic growth +19%.
Strong Organic Growth After Currency Adjustment
Q4 organic growth (adjusted for currency headwinds) would have been +28%. Support sales growth adjusted for currency in Q4 was +16% (reported +6%).
Improved Profitability and Cash Generation
Q4 operating profit SEK 92 million, +25% YoY, EBIT margin 24% (would have been 27% adjusted for currency losses). Full-year operating profit SEK 292 million, margin 22% (adjusted margin 26% excluding currency losses and nonrecurring items). Q4 cash flow improved to SEK 91 million; cash balance end 2025 SEK 407 million and no debt.
Growing Recurring Revenue Base
Recurring support revenue for full year SEK 524 million, representing 39% of total revenues (Q4 support revenue SEK 139 million, 37% of Q4 sales), strengthening business robustness.
Major Customer Wins and Platform Expansions
Notable orders/expansions in Q4: Greater Poland Cancer Center expanded to proton planning; University of Pennsylvania selected RayStation for proton therapy across three clinics; Universitätsklinikum Gießen und Marburg chose RayStation to replace Philips Pinnacle.
Clinical and Scientific Milestones
Royal Marsden performed first online adaptive treatment on a standard Elekta linac using RayStation; Southwest Florida Proton Center delivered first patient treatments using RayStation + RayCare with IBA Proton system; RaySearch-supported teams performed the world's first clinical proton arc treatments in 2025 (named a top-10 physics breakthrough by Physics World).
AI Adoption and Productivity Gains
Deep learning segmentation used on ~270,000 patients in 2025; deep learning planning produced ~7,000 clinical plans to date. Customer case (Iridium, Belgium) shows time savings: patient modeling -44% and plan generation -47%. AI also used to speed developer workflows.
Shareholder Returns and Policy Update
Board proposes dividend SEK 4.00 per share (up from SEK 3.00). New dividend policy from 2026 to distribute 50% of profit after tax, subject to capital needs and investments.
Negative Updates
Material Currency Headwinds and FX Losses
Strong Swedish krona negatively impacted reported growth and margins. Q4 currency revaluation reduced EBIT by just above SEK 10 million; full-year currency losses amounted to SEK 37 million.
Order Intake / Backlog Dynamics
Order intake increased only +8% in Q4 and +17% for the full year, while order backlog at year-end was SEK 1.528 billion with a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9 (quarter and full year), indicating orders booked below revenue run-rate; management attributes much of the backlog decline to currency effects.
RayCare Adoption Lagging
RayCare traction remains limited: only four RayCare orders in 2025. Ramp-up constrained by regulatory approvals and need for integrated online adaptive capability (FDA timing required for U.S. expansion).
Regulatory Timing Uncertainty
Online adaptive features and certain modality expansions require regulatory clearances (e.g., RayCare/RayStation FDA approvals). Management expects European rollout in spring but U.S. timing depends on FDA; chemotherapy module expected 2027 clearance in U.S., surgery further out.
Nonrecurring Costs and Expense Pressure
Full-year includes SEK 23 million treated as nonrecurring costs. Administration costs remained elevated in Q4 and management did not provide full detail on drivers during the call.
Cash Flow Variability Risk
While Q4 cash flow improved, company warns cash flow can fluctuate due to long payment terms for certain tenders/framework agreements and strategic decisions to accept later invoicing for profitable sales.
Uncertainty in Pinnacle Conversion Opportunity
Pinnacle conversions were only 11% of license revenues in Q4 (23% for the full year). Management cannot provide exact number of remaining Pinnacle centers (est. a couple of hundred in flux across markets), creating uncertainty in conversion timing and revenue recognition.
Company Guidance
The company guided to an EBIT margin of at least 25% in 2026 and said it will publish a new 3‑year medium‑term financial target during 2026; the Board proposes a SEK 4.00/share dividend for 2025 (up from SEK 3.00) and a new dividend policy from 2026 to distribute 50% of profit after tax. For context, Q4 net sales were SEK 375m (+16%, organic +28%) and FY2025 net sales SEK 1,344m (+13%, organic +19%); Q4 operating profit was SEK 92m (24% EBIT margin; currency‑adjusted 27%) and FY operating profit SEK 292m (22% margin; adjusted to SEK 353m/26% excluding SEK 37m currency losses and SEK 23m non‑recurring costs). Recurring support revenue was SEK 139m (37%) in Q4 and SEK 524m (39%) for the year; order intake grew +8% in Q4 and +17% for the year, backlog stood at SEK 1,528m with a book‑to‑bill of 0.9, Q4 cash flow was SEK 91m and year‑end cash SEK 407m with no debt. Management also highlighted a cash‑flow focus for 2026, plans to explore share buybacks, expectations of RayCare ramp‑up (4 orders in 2025) and regulatory timing for new modules (EU online adaptive in spring; US 510(k) pending for liver ablation; chemotherapy clearance around 2027).

RaySearch Laboratories AB Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong multi-year revenue growth and a clear profitability turnaround with solid free cash flow support the score. Offsetting factors include a sharp 2025 gross-margin drop, rising leverage on the balance sheet versus 2024, and operating cash flow running below EBITDA (weaker cash conversion quality).
Income Statement
78
Positive
Revenue has grown strongly over the last several years (2022–2025), with growth moderating in 2025. Profitability has improved materially versus 2020–2021 losses, with 2025 showing healthy operating and net margins (about 24% and 17%, respectively). A key watch-out is the sharp drop in 2025 gross margin versus 2024, which suggests higher cost pressure or mix changes even as earnings remain solid.
Balance Sheet
64
Positive
The balance sheet shows meaningful leverage: debt-to-equity sits around 0.72 in 2025 (up from 2024), and total debt increased notably year over year. Equity has grown versus prior years, supporting the capital base, but the rising debt load reduces flexibility compared with 2024 and keeps overall balance-sheet risk in the mid-range.
Cash Flow
73
Positive
Cash generation is strong: 2025 free cash flow is high and improved sharply versus 2024, and free cash flow is well-aligned with reported earnings (free cash flow is roughly 93% of net income in 2025). However, operating cash flow is below EBITDA in every year shown (coverage ratio ~0.68 in 2025), indicating some working-capital or non-cash timing effects that temper the quality-of-cash conversion.

RaySearch and Royal Marsden Expand Online Adaptive Radiotherapy to Standard Elekta Linacs
Feb 4, 2026

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust has successfully delivered its first online adaptive radiotherapy treatment on a widely available Elekta C‑arm linear accelerator using RaySearch’s RayStation software, marking a shift from reliance on specialized adaptive machines to standard linacs already common in hospitals. Building on its earlier adoption of RayStation for online adaptive treatments on an Accuray Radixact system, the hospital’s rapid transition of workflows to Elekta equipment demonstrates the clinical readiness, speed and robustness of RayStation’s adaptive replanning module and highlights the potential for broader, routine use of highly precise adaptive radiotherapy.
