Boliden (SE0020050417) was trading at EUR 49.39 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026, as the Swedish metals group pursued the acquisition of two zinc mines from Lundin Mining. AKM reported on October 12, 2026, that Boliden was in talks for the assets, linking the move to stronger zinc supply for its Scandinavian smelters.

Three strategic moves in 2026

On August 27, 2026, Boliden announced its plan to acquire a controlling 64.70 percent stake in Nexa Resources, according to Dagens Aktie. The proposed Nexa transaction would expand Boliden into Latin America.

On October 9, 2026, Yahoo Finance carried Boliden's invitation for its third-quarter 2026 report. The current event came on October 12, 2026, when the company entered talks over two additional zinc mines.

What does the mine strategy mean for output?

The acquisition plan is tied to operating growth rather than a single commodity bet. AKM reported that Boliden intends to expand capacity at its Odda plant by 75.00 percent to 350,000 metric tons per year and resume production at the Tara zinc mine.

The latest reported quarter provides the financial baseline. In the second quarter of 2026, Boliden generated SEK 25.7 billion in revenue, down 7.50 percent from SEK 27.8 billion in the first quarter, while operating profit fell to SEK 3.2 billion from SEK 5.2 billion and the operating margin declined to 12.40 percent from 18.90 percent, according to Affarsvarlden. That quarter-on-quarter comparison shows why execution at acquired and expanded assets matters for the group.

Q3 report arrives October 29

Boliden is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 interim report on October 29, 2026, with a press and analyst conference later the same day, according to Yahoo Finance. The report should give investors the next quantified test of production progress, earnings resilience and the cost of the expansion program.
