CEO COMMENT
"Good growth"
The second quarter of the financial year (July-September 2026) saw a good performance for Lagercrantz and thus strengthened the trend from the beginning of the year. The stronger order intake from before the summer materialised during the quarter in the form of increased revenue where the organic growth totalled 12 percent. Also supported by positive contributions from newly acquired companies, profit after net financial items (EBT) therefore increased by a total of 24 percent to MSEK 425 (343) for the quarter, well above our target of 15 percent. Earnings per share (after dilution) increased by 21 percent to SEK 6.45 on an annual basis.
