Skanska (ISIN SE0000113250) closed at SEK 280.60 on Nasdaq Stockholm on September 25, 2026, just 2.16 percent below its 52-week high of SEK 286.80. The latest results showed Q2 2026 revenue of SEK 48.03 billion and earnings per share of 6.14, giving investors a stronger operating reference point ahead of the next report.

Q2 revenue beats the forecast

According to Investing.com on July 17, 2026, Skanska reported Q2 revenue of SEK 48.03 billion, compared with a forecast of SEK 45.54 billion. Earnings per share reached 6.14 versus a forecast of 4.29, a quantified comparison that puts the quarterly result ahead of expectations.

The company reported a 4.3 percent operating margin in Construction on a rolling-12-month basis in its Q2 2026 investor update. The same update showed return on capital employed of 1.3 percent in Project Development, 4.8 percent in Investment Properties and return on equity of 10.8 percent, according to Skanska.

Construction backlog remains central

MarketScreener reported on September 10, 2026, that EFN rated Skanska Buy and highlighted the construction business, especially in the United States, as a key driver. The analysis also identified higher interest rates and a weak US office market as risks.

For investors, the combination of a record order backlog and quarterly earnings above the cited forecast matters more than the small distance to the yearly high. The share's September 25 move was positive at 0.97 percent, while volume reached 509,095 shares, keeping the market snapshot tied to a completed Nasdaq Stockholm session.

Next report arrives November 5

Investing.com lists November 5, 2026, as Skanska's next earnings date. Until then, the key checkpoints are construction profitability, the order backlog and whether property-market risks affect capital returns.
