Holmen stock trades at SEK 399.80, down SEK 0.80, or 0.20%, on the latest delayed quote for Holmen B (ISIN SE0000171100). The same snapshot shows 162,512,324 shares outstanding and a P/E ratio of 22.34, giving investors a clean valuation reference as of August 28, 2026.
Valuation stays central
The stock sits in a Large Cap listing with a price-to-sales ratio of 2.79 and price-to-book of 1.12. Earnings per share are SEK 23.00, while book value per share is SEK 357.51, which leaves the shares trading above book but far from a stretched sales multiple.
Analyst sentiment on the same market snapshot leans cautious, with 1 buy and 6 hold recommendations visible. That split matters because it leaves Holmen valued on stable expectations rather than a broad upgrade cycle.
What the latest signal says
A separate market note from August 28, 2026 places Lundbergs' portfolio in the same Swedish industrial and investment web as Holmen, which is useful context for domestic peers and holding-company flows. Holmen itself remains tied to the raw-materials sector, so investor attention continues to center on margins, wood products, and paper-market pricing.
For a stock at SEK 399.80, the valuation debate is more important than a simple momentum story. The share price is only SEK 0.80 below the prior reference level in the snapshot, but the larger question is whether current earnings support a P/E of 22.34.
Holmen B business mix
Holmen develops forestry, paper, wood products, and renewable energy activities through its Swedish industrial base. That mix gives the company a direct link to timber pricing, packaging demand, and power generation economics.
Its current valuation profile shows why the market keeps the focus on operating discipline: SEK 143.16 in revenue per share, SEK 23.00 in earnings per share, and SEK 11.50 in dividend per share all point to a mature cash-generating profile rather than a growth story.
Shares and trading level
Holmen B closed or last traded at SEK 399.80 on August 28, 2026, according to the latest delayed market snapshot. That price leaves the stock well above its reported book value per share of SEK 357.51 and gives the market a clear benchmark heading into the next earnings update.
