Bulten reported a 12.4% sales decline in Q1 2026 alongside a marked improvement in profitability. EBIT rose to SEK 77m (+75% year‑on‑year) and the operating margin climbed to 6.1% (adjusted 6.2%), driven by structural cost reductions and a higher gross margin. Net financial debt fell, available liquidity is around SEK 1,013m, but operating cash flow was temporarily weaker. Management emphasizes diversification away from passenger‑car OEMs with initial orders in wind power and a defence contract worth SEK 21m, and remains focused on margin protection, cash flow and targeted non‑auto growth. » More on de.investing.com
