Three dated target changes

On October 13, 2026, Citigroup raised its target from SEK 575.00 to SEK 588.00 while retaining a neutral rating, as MarketScreener reported. On October 15, 2026, Nordea downgraded Alfa Laval to hold and kept its SEK 610.00 target, according to MarketScreener. Handelsbanken's SEK 650.00 target followed on October 20, 2026.

What does SEK 650 imply?

Handelsbanken said demand remained favorable, particularly in Energy, and expected earnings to increase by nearly 20 percent in 2027. Its forecasts for adjusted EBITA in 2027 and 2028 rose by 3 percent because of positive currency effects, according to MarketScreener. Citigroup offered a more cautious counterpoint on October 13, 2026, expecting order intake of SEK 21.40 billion versus consensus of SEK 20.10 billion and pointing to slower shipbuilding orders in 2027 and 2028, according to MarketScreener.

Revenue gives the next test

Alfa Laval generated SEK 18.12 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and reported SEK 4.91 of earnings per share, figures listed by TradingView. The next report will show whether the demand assumptions behind the SEK 650.00 target are translating into orders and earnings.
