Lifco (ISIN SE0015949201) was last at SEK 321 on Nasdaq Stockholm on October 2, 2026 at 5:29 p.m. CEST, up 1.13 percent from the previous session. The next company checkpoint is the Q3 2026 report scheduled for October 23, 2026, according to MFN.

Q3 report date is set

MFN reported on September 29, 2026 that Lifco will publish its third-quarter report at 7:30 a.m. CEST on October 23, 2026. A webcast with CEO Per Waldemarson and CFO Therese Hoffman is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. CEST the same day.

The date gives the stock a defined near-term test after Lifco's second-quarter figures. The company operates five business areas and had 275 operating companies in 37 countries at the end of 2025, according to the investor-relations page.

Q2 margin reached 19.2 percent

Lifco generated SEK 7.695 billion of revenue in Q2 2026, compared with SEK 6.943 billion in Q2 2025, a reported increase of 7.1 percent. Operating profit was SEK 1.480 billion, up from SEK 1.284 billion, while the operating margin reached 19.2 percent versus 18.5 percent a year earlier, according to Affarsvarlden.

Net income was SEK 1.035 billion in Q2 2026, compared with SEK 880 million in Q2 2025. The figures make margin protection and acquisition-driven growth the central questions for the October report.

Nordea lifts target to SEK 334

Nordea kept its Hold rating and raised its target price to SEK 334 from SEK 331 in an analysis dated October 2, 2026, as reported by MarketScreener. The bank kept its 2026 adjusted EBITA forecast unchanged and lifted its 2027 and 2028 estimates by 1 percent after the Micronova acquisition.

A separate analyst overview listed seven analysts with an average target price of SEK 352.43 and an Accumulate consensus, according to Zonebourse. The consensus page used a closing price of SEK 306.60, so its target comparison is separate from the October 2 intraday quote.

Stock remains below yearly high

Lifco was last at SEK 321 on October 2, 2026, with a session range of SEK 318.20 to SEK 324. The 52-week range was SEK 268.20 to SEK 388.20, leaving the quote 17.3 percent below the yearly high.
