Orders accelerate in Q2

According to Yahoo Finance in the July 16, 2026, Q2 earnings transcript, Atlas Copco's organic revenue grew 8 percent and adjusted profit increased 12 percent. The operating margin stood at 20.6 percent, while management said customer activity remained elevated for the next quarter.

Goldman target reaches SEK 236

The operating trade-off is clear. Management described production ramp-up costs in semiconductor-related businesses, while the Q2 adjusted margin held at 20.6 percent and the company continued adding capacity to serve its order book.
