Securitas reports an adjusted operating margin of 7.0% in Q1 2026 (+30 basis points) with organic revenue growth of 0% (2% adjusted). Operating profit rose 8% in real terms, EPS benefited from disposal gains, and operating cash flow and free cash flow improved markedly. The Technology and Solutions business contributed disproportionately to profitability, while North America was weighed down by stagnant revenues and installation issues. The stock fell after the results, but management sticks to full-year targets and points to a Capital Markets Day on 16 June 2026 for further strategic clarification. » Mere på de.investing.com

Securitas released Q1 figures: the operating margin improved for the 21st consecutive quarter to 7.0%, and the Technology and Solutions segment reached an operating margin of 10.7%. Organic revenue growth stagnated, and adjusted growth of 2% was below expectations, with weaker installation business in North America weighing particularly on results. Adjusted EPS grew 34% in real terms, yet the stock fell about 4.5% after the earnings call. Management continues to focus on margin improvement, strong free cash flow generation and debt reduction, targeting conversion of 70–80% of operating profit into cash flow. » Mere på de.investing.com
