Holmen stock stood at SEK 329.20 on Nasdaq Stockholm on September 23, 2026, down 0.78 percent on the session. The price was 13.5 percent below the 52-week high of SEK 380.60, putting the recent market picture below its yearly peak.
Half year profit sets the baseline
Holmen reported operating profit of SEK 689 million for January to June 2026 and an operating margin of 12 percent. The same investor update listed a debt to equity ratio of 12 percent, giving the margin and balance sheet a clear role in the equity story.
In Q2 2026, revenue reached SEK 5.632 billion, compared with SEK 5.473 billion in Q1, a sequential increase of 2.9 percent. Net income was SEK 510 million in Q2, while diluted earnings per share stood at SEK 3.39.
Data centers add a strategic angle
On September 21, 2026, EFN reported that Holmen and SCA see major opportunities in data centers. For Holmen, the idea connects its forest assets and renewable energy operations with a demand trend that could broaden the strategic value of its existing resources.
A separate September 2026 index review removed Holmen from the FTSE All-World Index, according to Simply Wall St. That change affects benchmark exposure rather than Holmen's operating result, but it helps explain why ownership flows and business execution belong in the same investor assessment.
