what happened

Swedish property developer Bonava, according to Reuters, reported third-quarter results. Sales came in at SEK 2,216 million against an IBES estimate of SEK 2,601 million. EBIT reached SEK 168 million versus a forecast of SEK 209 million, with a gross margin of 14.1% and an EBIT margin of 7.6%.

In its updated outlook for 2026, Bonava expects an operating margin of roughly 7% excluding potential restructuring costs. Net sales are expected to grow by about 10% compared with 2025, adjusted for currency effects.

Careium, per the same source, lifted third-quarter net sales by 21.6% to SEK 259.9 million. Its gross margin was 45.0%, EBIT rose to SEK 26.7 million, and the operating margin was 10.3%.

why it matters

Bonava's shortfall on sales and profit, combined with a lower margin outlook, could weigh on Stockholm-listed developer shares. Careium is a small company, so its results are unlikely to move the broader market.
