Updated: 24 Oct 2026 Base analysis: 6 Apr 2026

The news check keeps the assessment current.

General analysis — not personal advice.

HOLD Clear

Hold existing position; consider adding in small tranches on a 10–15% pullback or after a strong Q1 report.

Strong order book and new export contracts keep the base case intact, but high valuation and risk of mechanical flows support continued HOLD.

Market sentiment Positive ↑
Trend: Improving

Sentiment remains strong, driven by concrete order intake and export progress that strengthens long-term growth visibility.

Risk assessment High
Dilution: Low Strong cash flow and net cash; no raise signaled
Jurisdiction: Low Sweden/EU/NATO; stable institutions
Execution: Medium Complex programs risk delays and cost overruns

HOLD is the call. Positive is the market mood. High risk means a lot can go wrong.

Bull case

Strong order book and new export deals provide high visibility and support for continued growth and margins if delivery pace holds.

Bear case

High valuation and execution risk in large complex programs plus occasional weak operating cash flow can increase volatility.

Why this signal

Strong order book and new export contracts keep the base case intact, but high valuation and risk of mechanical flows support continued HOLD.
