Lifco (SE0015949201) was trading at EUR 27.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 12:12 p.m. CEST, down 0.82 percent versus the prior close of EUR 28.18. Affarsvärlden reported on October 6, 2026 that DNB Carnegie cut its target from SEK 385 to SEK 373 and reiterated Buy. The move puts valuation and the coming report at the center of the Lifco stock debate.

Target cut meets solid operations

The target reduction is a quantified change of SEK 12, or 3.12 percent from the previous SEK 385 target. DNB Carnegie's Buy view therefore remains intact even as the target moved lower.

Lifco reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of SEK 7.695 billion and operating profit of SEK 1.480 billion. Revenue was up 7.10 percent from SEK 7.186 billion in the first quarter, while the operating margin was 19.24 percent.

Estimates point to another growth test

According to finanzen.ch on October 8, 2026, six analysts expect third-quarter earnings per share of SEK 2.23, compared with SEK 1.96 in the year-earlier quarter. Ten analysts forecast revenue of SEK 7.49 billion, up 9.54 percent from SEK 6.84 billion a year earlier.

The estimates create a clear benchmark for the October report: Lifco would need to preserve its near-20 percent operating margin while expanding revenue at a faster pace than the 7.10 percent recorded in the second quarter. That combination matters because the company is valued on durable earnings growth rather than on a single acquisition announcement.
