SEB stock (FR0000121709) trades at SEK 222.70, while UBS lifted its target to SEK 230 and kept a neutral view on August 27, 2026. The move gives investors a fresh valuation reference against a market cap that stands at SEK 56.4 billion and a 1-day gain of 0.23%.
Target reset
The latest analyst note points to a modest re-rating rather than a decisive view change. UBS raised its target from SEK 215 to SEK 230, a 7.0% increase, while keeping the recommendation at neutral.
That matters because the share price already sits close to the new target at SEK 222.70, leaving only a small gap of SEK 7.30. For chart followers, the stock is also still well above the 52-week low of SEK 180.20 and below the 52-week high of SEK 246.80.
Latest reported numbers
SEB's most recent reported quarter was the second quarter of 2026, when revenue reached EUR 1.9 billion and operating income came in at EUR 169 million. Net profit for the period was EUR 130 million, and the operating margin was 8.9%.
The comparison is concrete: revenue rose 4.6% year over year from EUR 1.82 billion, while operating income improved by EUR 11 million from EUR 158 million in the prior-year quarter. That combination shows a steadier earnings base than a one-off market move.
Product angle
For households, Groupe SEB's cookware and small-appliance lines remain the clearest consumer touchpoint. Brands such as Tefal and Rowenta still anchor the group's global shelf presence, which helps explain why margin trends and pricing power matter so much to equity holders.
Stock level
As of August 27, 2026, SEB stock trades at SEK 222.70 in Stockholm. The new target from UBS leaves the shares a little above the prior 52-week midpoint and just below the revised estimate.
