Barclays lifts target to SEK 467
The target increase puts Barclays' stated valuation at SEK 467, compared with the earlier SEK 459 level. The rating remained overweight, giving the September 18 update a constructive tone even as the euro quote moved lower during the October 1 session.
Deutsche Bank took a more cautious view on September 16, raising its target from SEK 350 to SEK 360 while reiterating hold, according to MarketScreener. The difference between the two ratings highlights a split between Barclays' higher target and Deutsche Bank's neutral stance.
Second-quarter margin reaches 17.00 percent
Assa Abloy reported SEK 39.26 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 9.80 percent from the comparable period, while operating profit reached SEK 6.68 billion and the operating margin was 17.00 percent, according to Affarsvarlden. The 17.00 percent margin exceeded the 15.70 percent level shown for the second quarter of 2025, making profitability the stronger part of the latest operating picture.
