Husqvarna stock gained 1.37 percent to SEK 34.74 on Nasdaq Stockholm on October 2, 2026, while the company prepares to publish its third-quarter report on October 21. The Q2 figures show the tension behind the share move: revenue reached SEK 14.383 billion, but operating profit was SEK 1.600 billion.
Q2 revenue stays below last year
According to Affarsvärlden, Husqvarna reported Q2 2026 revenue of SEK 14.383 billion, compared with SEK 15.277 billion in Q2 2025. Operating profit stood at SEK 1.600 billion, versus SEK 2.063 billion a year earlier, while the operating margin was 11.1 percent against 13.5 percent.
The comparison points to a weaker earnings base even as the second-quarter revenue exceeded the SEK 13.962 billion reported for Q1 2026. For investors, the next report will show whether seasonal demand and cost measures can stabilize profitability in the second half.
Analyst target remains above price
As MarketScreener reported on September 22, 2026, SB1 Markets cut its Husqvarna target to SEK 35 from SEK 40 and retained a Neutral rating. The bank forecast an 8 percent third-quarter decline for Forest and Garden and a 15 percent increase for Gardena.
The broader consensus remained Outperform across five analysts, with an average target of SEK 42.60, according to MarketScreener. That target is 22.6 percent above the SEK 34.74 reference price, although the latest individual actions point to continued earnings pressure.
October 21 sets the next test
