Alfa Laval stock (ISIN SE0000695876) closed at SEK 556.00 on Nasdaq Stockholm on September 17, 2026, up 1.53 percent from the prior session and leaving the group with a market value of SEK 229.15 billion. JP Morgan then cut its price target to SEK 578.00 from SEK 585.00, according to ad hoc news on September 18, 2026.

Target cut, but shares held
