Epiroc stock slips after Berenberg starts Hold on order cycles

Epiroc stock fell 1.72% to SEK 268.60 as a new Hold call and Q2 2026 order-cycle concerns shaped trading. The latest snapshot also shows a market cap of SEK 330.676 billion and a year-to-date gain of 28.73%.

Epiroc A (SE0015658109) fell 1.72% to SEK 268.60 on August 28, 2026, after a new Hold call framed the name around mining-equipment order cycles. The latest snapshot also showed a market cap of SEK 330.676 billion and a year-to-date gain of 28.73%.

Order-cycle worries

A Marketscreener note on Berenberg coverage said the broker started the stock at Hold and pointed to further updates on mining-equipment order cycles. The same item also cited Epiroc's Q2 2026 results and showed an average price target of SEK 279.81 versus a latest close of SEK 273.30.

That gap leaves the shares below the average target by SEK 5.51, while the implied upside to the target is 2.0% from that close. The move kept attention on whether order momentum can match the 28.73% rise seen since January 1.

What the numbers say

Marketscreener's company profile listed Epiroc at EUR 21.04 in Tradegate trading, up 6.39% for the year at the time of the snapshot. The same page described Epiroc as a global maker of drilling, excavation, construction and demolition equipment for mining, construction and natural-resource customers.

Yahoo Finance showed Epiroc AB at SEK 273.30 with a market cap of SEK 330.676 billion, while the Stockholm close cited in the market note was SEK 268.60. Those figures give traders a same-day range to compare with the Hold call.

Products and footing

Epiroc's core offering spans drill rigs, rock excavation tools, and equipment used across mining and civil infrastructure work. That product mix matters because order timing in mining often moves faster than broad industrial demand.

Stock level

Epiroc stock traded at SEK 268.60 on August 28, 2026, after a 1.72% decline. The latest quoted market cap in the same session was SEK 330.676 billion.
