DNB Carnegie raises target to SEK 340
DNB Carnegie also lifted its forecast for Holmen's adjusted earnings per share for 2026 through 2028 by an average of 8 percent, the same analysis said. The bank expects third-quarter sales and earnings to be slightly lower than in the previous quarter, with sales and adjusted operating profit forecasts slightly below consensus.
The target change gives investors a clear near-term reference point, but the Hold rating keeps the message balanced. The target is stated in Swedish kronor, while the reference price for this article is the separate euro quotation from Lang & Schwarz.
January to June profit reached SEK 689 million
Holmen's investor-relations page reports SEK 689 million in operating profit for January-June 2026 and an operating margin of 12 percent. The company also reports a debt-to-equity ratio of 12 percent for the same period, according to Holmen.
