what happened

Swedish electronics manufacturing services company NOTE has published its interim report for the third quarter of 2026. Sales reached SEK 1,057 million, against SEK 830 million a year earlier, an increase of 27%. Adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, organic growth was 2%.

Operating profit rose to SEK 91 million (74), while the operating margin slipped to 8.6% (9.0%). Profit after tax was SEK 57 million, or SEK 1.98 per share. Operating cash flow fell to SEK 11 million from SEK 121 million a year earlier.

For the first nine months, sales grew 14% to SEK 3,194 million, while organic growth was negative at -1%. The order backlog for the current year is 12% above the prior-year level, and the order book for the first half of 2027 is up about 20%. The information is based on a TradingView publication.

why it matters

For investors, cash flow is the key issue: after investments, total cash flow for the nine months was SEK -799 million, driven by a large inventory build to secure materials. Sales growth came mainly from acquisitions, so organic growth and the conversion of the order backlog will matter for the next reports.
