Volvo B (ISIN SE0000115446) was trading at SEK 325.50 on Nasdaq Stockholm on September 25, 2026, at 1:45 p.m. UTC, up 1.34 percent from the prior close. The next major company checkpoint is Volvo Group's Q3 2026 report, scheduled for October 23, 2026, on the company's investor calendar. For investors, the central question is whether earnings can support the valuation after a strong first half.

Jefferies lifts target to SEK 370

According to Finanzen on September 14, 2026, Jefferies raised its Volvo price target from SEK 365 to SEK 370 and kept its Buy rating. The research cited the effect of US emissions standards from 2027 on pricing, margins and potential penalties for non-compliance.

The target revision came with a warning on expectations. As Marketscreener reported on September 15, 2026, Jefferies forecast third-quarter operating profit of SEK 8.1 billion against consensus of SEK 9.5 billion. That gap makes the October report important for the stock's next valuation step.

Q2 margin reached 11.7 percent

Volvo's second-quarter 2026 figures provide the earnings base for that debate. The Yahoo Finance transcript identifies adjusted operating income of SEK 14.8 billion, an adjusted operating margin of 11.7 percent, earnings per share of SEK 5.10 and net sales of SEK 126 billion for Q2 2026. Organic sales growth was 7 percent, while operating cash flow reached SEK 5.8 billion.

The figures show why the target debate is not purely a volume story. A double-digit operating margin gives Volvo room to absorb freight, material and trade-related costs, but the forecast gap for Q3 puts execution and demand mix at the center of the next report.

Stock sits below yearly high

At SEK 325.50, the share price was 13.09 percent below its 52-week high of SEK 374.50 and 32.91 percent above its 52-week low of SEK 244.90 on September 25, 2026. Volvo B's market capitalization was SEK 661,888,673,849, with trading volume of 1,344,129 shares at the same snapshot.

Q3 results arrive October 23

Volvo Group's investor calendar lists the third-quarter 2026 report for October 23, 2026, and identifies the primary share listing as STO: VOLV-B. Until that date, the combination of the Q2 margin, Jefferies' SEK 370 target and the lower SEK 8.1 billion profit forecast forms the clearest framework for reading the stock.
