Alfa Laval stock (ISIN SE0000695876) gained 1.93 percent to SEK 561 on Nasdaq Stockholm on October 2, 2026, leaving the shares 5.27 percent below their 52-week high of SEK 592.20. The second-quarter order intake rose 35 percent reported, while the order book reached SEK 53.5 billion, according to FactorsToday.
Q2 demand outpaced profit growth
Alfa Laval delivered SEK 18.1 billion of products and services in Q2 2026, up 7.7 percent from the prior-year quarter, with organic growth of 5.9 percent. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 17 percent, according to Yahoo Finance in its July 21, 2026 earnings-call transcript.
The order picture is strongest in Energy, where reported orders increased 70 percent in Q2 and organic orders rose 36 percent. The conversion question is visible in the margin: Q2 adjusted EBITA increased 2 percent while the group margin declined to 17.0 percent, according to FactorsToday.
Consensus leaves limited upside
Analysts' consensus rates Alfa Laval Outperform, based on 17 analysts, with an average target of SEK 588.47, according to MarketScreener. That target lies 4.90 percent above the October 2 price of SEK 561.
The same MarketScreener page reports that JP Morgan cut its target from SEK 585 to SEK 578 on September 17, 2026, while maintaining a Neutral rating. The split between rising orders and modest profit growth makes Energy margins, working capital and the next order-book update central checkpoints.

Alfa Laval will publish its third-quarter report on October 27, 2026, and hold its Capital Markets Day on November 18, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations page.
