Elekta stock closed at SEK 47.82 on Nasdaq Stockholm on September 11, 2026, down 7.3 percent for the day. The session left the shares below a recent analyst target referenced in a Swedish healthcare overview, framing the move against expectations for the name.
September 11, 2026 in numbers
Elekta AB (ISIN SE0000163628) ended the September 11, 2026 session at SEK 47.82 after trading between a low of SEK 47.40 and a high of SEK 50.25 on Nasdaq Stockholm. Volume for the day reached 1,284,611 shares, and the closing level stood 2.82 percent below the start of that week, according to data cited in a Swedish healthcare sector overview. The same overview showed a seven day return of minus 7.3 percent and a market capitalization figure of SEK 18.4 billion at the September 11, 2026 last price, highlighting that the shares remained well below the analyst target mentioned there.
Further context for the recent trading comes from short positioning in the stock. As MarketScreener reported on September 14, 2026, there are eleven public short sellers in Elekta, with a total of 14.6 percent of the company’s share capital sold short under Sweden’s disclosure regime. Sweden’s Financial Supervisory Authority requires positions above 0.1 percent to be reported and short positions above 0.5 percent to be made public, so the current publicly disclosed short interest signals a significant level of bearish positioning around the stock.
Today’s calendar for Elekta
Looking ahead to today’s Swedish trading session on September 15, 2026, no major company specific event for Elekta is indicated in widely followed earnings calendars, with recent listings for September 14, 2026 not showing the company among reporting names. The elevated short interest disclosed by regulators and highlighted by MarketScreener can remain a key backdrop for sentiment toward Elekta shares today, as investors weigh the potential for further volatility against the recent move below the referenced analyst target.
