Sentiment remains mixed with continued strength in construction due to record orders, while uncertainty around US commercial real estate development persists.
HOLD is the call. Positive is the market mood. High risk means a lot can go wrong.

Skanska is a global construction and project development company focused on infrastructure, commercial properties, and residential development, mainly in Europe and North America. It is profitable and mature, with a strong balance sheet and large order backlog, but exposed to cyclical construction and real estate markets.
Bull case
Record order backlog and strong cash flow can deliver high revenue visibility and stable profitability as major US and Nordic projects enter production.
Bear case
Further impairments or a weaker transaction market in US commercial real estate development could continue to weigh on results and valuation despite strong construction operations.
Why this signal
Strong order intake and cash flow provide good visibility in construction operations, but impairments in US property development keep the risk/return balanced in the short term.
