AAK AB (ISIN SE0011337708) was trading at SEK 182.40 on Nasdaq Stockholm on October 5, 2026, at 3:12 p.m. CEST, down 0.71 percent from the previous close. The next major checkpoint is the company's third-quarter report on October 23.

Q3 report has a fixed date

AAK will release its interim report for the third quarter on October 23, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. CEST, according to Nasdaq Stockholm in a September 21, 2026 investor notice. A press and analyst conference is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. CEST on the same date, giving the market a defined date for the next operating update.

The timing matters because AAK's latest reported quarter showed a mixed operating picture. Revenue for the quarter ending June 30 was SEK 11.2 billion, compared with SEK 11.3 billion a year earlier, while net profit rose to SEK 803 million from SEK 641 million, as reported by Markets Insider on September 22, 2026.

Profit growth offsets softer sales

The Q2 comparison puts profitability ahead of top-line growth. AAK's operating profit was SEK 1.096 billion in Q2 2026, while the operating result stood at SEK 1.285 billion in Q1 2026, according to the standardized quarterly statement for AAK.

AAK specializes in plant-based oils used as ingredients in food and other consumer products. Its investor information identifies Nasdaq Stockholm as the listing venue and places the company in the Large Cap segment and Food and Beverage sector, giving the October report a direct read-through for investors tracking specialty food ingredients.

Analysts split over valuation

The consensus picture is more constructive than the latest single-house call. Investing.com listed a Buy consensus from 9 analysts on September 8, 2026, with 5 Buy ratings, 1 Hold and 2 Sell ratings, plus an average 12-month target of SEK 257.4, a high of SEK 300 and a low of SEK 197, according to Investing.com. The average target is 41.1 percent above the October 5 price of SEK 182.40.

Barclays maintained a Sell rating and a SEK 195 price target in a report dated September 22, 2026, according to Markets Insider. That target is 6.9 percent above the current price, leaving the October 23 report as the next test for the competing valuation views.
