Alfa Laval stock (ISIN SE0000695876) traded at SEK575.00 on the Stockholm exchange in late trade on August 25, 2026, up 1.59 percent or 9.00 points from its previous reference level according to a Sweden market wrap as reported by a Sweden market close overview.
Q2 2026 shows strong order intake
The latest consensus-based overview dated August 24, 2026 highlights that Alfa Laval's second quarter 2026 order intake reached SEK22,235 million, beating analyst expectations by 19.7 percent for the period according to a recent Q2 2026 metrics summary.
The same Q2 2026 snapshot shows that net revenue came in at SEK18,117 million, which was 1.1 percent above consensus projections, indicating that Alfa Laval converted a significant portion of its robust order pipeline into sales during the quarter per the same Q2 2026 coverage.
However, adjusted EBITA for Q2 2026 reached SEK3,071 million and thus fell 5.9 percent short of consensus, suggesting that cost pressures or an unfavorable mix weighed on margins despite the revenue beat, based on the same consensus-based dataset as outlined in the Q2 2026 EBITA comparison.
Share price holds above recent close
The consensus-focused overview dated August 24, 2026 noted that Alfa Laval's latest closing price then stood at SEK561.20, leaving the shares modestly below the prevailing average target price but within a relatively tight trading band around recent levels according to that same pricing overview.
Intraday data embedded in that August 24, 2026 summary indicated that Alfa Laval was quoted at SEK560.80 on Nasdaq Stockholm at 9:43 a.m. local time, marginally below the latest closing level of SEK561.20 and reflecting restrained short-term volatility during that session based on the intraday quote snapshot.
By late trade on August 25, 2026, a Sweden equity wrap reported that Alfa Laval shares had risen to SEK575.00, representing a gain of 1.59 percent or 9.00 points on the day and standing clearly above the August 24, 2026 close of SEK561.20 cited in the consensus data according to the same Sweden session summary.
