Arctic Paper stock (PLARTPR00012) was trading at EUR 1.36 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. CEST, up 6.25 percent versus the prior close of EUR 1.28. The move gives investors a fresh market signal while the company's latest reported quarter still shows pressure on sales and profitability.

Revenue fell in the second quarter

According to Affärsvärlden in its August 11, 2026 report data, Arctic Paper generated revenue of SEK 1,917 million in the second quarter of 2026. That was 8.90 percent below the SEK 2,188 million reported for the second quarter of 2025.

The operating result was a loss of SEK 75.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with a loss of SEK 232.0 million in the year-earlier quarter. The operating margin improved from negative 10.60 percent to negative 4.00 percent, but remained below break-even.

Loss narrows but demand stays weaker

The figures show a mixed operating picture. Arctic Paper reduced the size of its operating loss by SEK 156.2 million year over year, while revenue declined by SEK 271.0 million. For investors, the margin comparison is the more constructive point because it indicates lower losses despite weaker quarterly sales.

Arctic Paper makes graphic paper and related paper products for printing and packaging markets. The company also sells FineArt paper and cardboard, giving the group several product categories beyond its core graphic-paper business.

Next report is scheduled for November

Affärsvärlden lists November 5, 2026 as the date for Arctic Paper's next quarterly report. That report should show whether the lower operating loss in the second quarter can continue while revenue remains below the prior-year level.
