Bulten AB

Bulten shares rose about 14.6% to SEK 50.30 after Q2 figures that, despite a 7.2% revenue decline to SEK 779m, showed a doubling of EBIT to SEK 62m, an increase in the operating margin to 8.0% and a net profit of SEK 38m. Management attributes the improvement to cost restructurings and operational measures.

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. » Altro su de.investing.com

Bulten reported an adjusted EBIT of SEK 78m in the first quarter of 2026 and maintained an EBIT margin of 6.2% despite declining sales. Volume declines caused by a cyberattack on a major customer were offset by operational improvements and strict cost management. Interest-bearing liabilities were reduced by around SEK 200m (20%) year on year, and the share price rose 7.63% after publication. The company is increasingly focusing on diversification into renewable energy, defense and electronics markets, including in India. » Altro su de.investing.com
