what happened
Swedish industrial group Karnell has reported its strongest earnings in company history for the third quarter of 2026. According to the publisher September 2026, net sales rose 33.4% to SEK 581.5 million (436.1), of which organic growth was 18.8%. EBITA grew 73.0% to SEK 120.0 million, and the EBITA margin reached 20.6% compared with 15.9% a year earlier.
For the first nine months, net sales totalled SEK 1,623.4 million (up 32.4%) and EBITA reached SEK 286.4 million (up 67.8%). Operating cash flow for the quarter rose to SEK 134.8 million from SEK 46.4 million. Diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.83 against SEK 0.85 a year earlier.
why it matters
Management says part of the result stems from temporary factors, and the third quarter is seasonally the strongest, so these figures should not be treated as a new run rate. One large customer in the Niche Production business area contributed a notable share of organic growth. For the broader market this is a report from a small company, most relevant to investors in Karnell shares on Nasdaq Stockholm.
