Investor AB stock (ISIN SE0015811963) was last at SEK 405.05 on Nasdaq Stockholm on October 2, 2026, up 1.24 percent from the prior session. The move came as investors assessed a sharp increase in second-quarter earnings and the holding company's valuation against its reported net asset value.

Q2 earnings reset the comparison

Investor AB reported net income of SEK 117,290 million for Q2 2026, compared with SEK 30,105 million in Q1 2026, according to Affärsvärlden in its report dated September 23, 2026. That represents a 289.6 percent quarter-over-quarter increase, although the result reflects the structure of an investment company and its market-value exposures rather than ordinary industrial sales growth.

The same Q2 data show earnings per share of SEK 38.26, versus SEK 9.82 in Q1. The figures give the stock a clear earnings headline, but adjusted net asset value remains the more relevant valuation reference for a portfolio owner.

Share price moves above June NAV

Adjusted net asset value reached SEK 1,214.7 billion, or SEK 397 per share, on June 30, 2026, according to FactorsToday. The October 2 price of SEK 405.05 therefore stood SEK 8.05 above that reported per-share NAV, a gap of 2.0 percent.

That comparison is a useful checkpoint because Investor's listed holdings can change value between reporting dates, while private-company marks and EQT fund values are updated on different schedules. The valuation question is therefore tied to future NAV growth and the premium or discount applied to the holding company.

October report sets the next checkpoint

The next scheduled report is October 16, 2026, according to FactorsToday. That release should update portfolio values, operating-company results and the relationship between the share price and adjusted NAV.

For investors, the key distinction is between accounting earnings and recurring portfolio economics. The Q2 earnings increase is substantial, while the current share price sits above the June NAV mark and leaves the October report as the next dated test of asset growth.
