General analysis — not personal advice.
HOLD
7/10
Confidence
Hold the current position; consider adding ~5–10% if Q1 shows clear order recovery and stable margins.
Hold is supported by continued strong demand and a solid balance sheet, although margins and Q3 guidance warrant monitoring.
Market sentiment
8/10
↑
Trend: Improving
Sentiment remains mixed after the report, with strong order intake weighed against margin pressure and more cautious guidance.
Price context
The stock trades around 565 SEK, only 4 % from its 52-week high despite the earnings miss. The market appears to focus on the exceptional order intake rather than near-term margin weakness.
