Lifco (ISIN SE0015949201) was trading at EUR 28.47 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. CEST, EUR 0.23 below the prior close of EUR 28.70. According to MFN on September 28, 2026, Lifco agreed to acquire all shares in Italian electronics maker Micronova. The deal adds a business with 49 employees, while consolidation is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Micronova expands Systems Solutions

Micronova develops customized electronic boards and touch screen displays for original equipment manufacturers in several industries. The company reported 2025 net sales of EUR 35.10 million, and Lifco said the acquisition would have no significant effect on its 2026 earnings or financial position.

The transaction fits Lifco's acquisition-led model. The company says its five business areas held 275 operating companies in 37 countries at the end of 2025, while 2025 net sales reached SEK 28.30 billion and the EBITA margin was 22.40 percent, according to Lifco.

Second-quarter growth strengthens the backdrop

Lifco's second-quarter revenue rose to SEK 7.70 billion from SEK 6.94 billion a year earlier, an increase of 10.83 percent. Operating profit reached SEK 1.48 billion, up 15.34 percent from SEK 1.28 billion in the second quarter of 2025, while the operating margin was 19.20 percent, according to Affärsvärlden.

Net income also increased to SEK 1.04 billion from SEK 880.00 million, a rise of 17.61 percent. That combination gives the Micronova deal a measured financial profile: the acquisition adds niche manufacturing capacity, but the company itself expects limited earnings impact in 2026.

Third-quarter date is set

Lifco will publish its third-quarter report on October 23, 2026, at 7:30 a.m. Stockholm time, according to MFN in a September 29, 2026 release. The upcoming report will show whether the second-quarter revenue and profit growth carried into the next reporting period.
