Loomis stock trades steadily as cash-handling margins support earnings
Published on 07/22/2026 at 03:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Loomis AB (ISIN SE0014556112) stock draws support from a combination of resilient cash-handling demand and disciplined cost control, with recent quarterly figures showing solid revenue growth and stable margins in its core markets. As of 30 April 2026, Loomis reported higher revenue and operating profit compared with the previous year, underscoring the companys position in outsourced cash management and secure logistics services.
Revenue up over prior year
According to the companys latest published quarterly report for Q1 2026, Loomis generated revenue of approximately SEK 8.0 billion in the three-month period, compared with around SEK 7.4 billion in Q1 2025. This represents growth of roughly 8 percent year on year and reflects continued demand for cash-in-transit, cash-processing and related cash-management services across Europe and North America.
The same Q1 2026 report indicated operating income (EBIT) of roughly SEK 900 million, up from around SEK 830 million in Q1 2025. That translates into an EBIT increase of about 8.4 percent, largely driven by efficiency measures in cash centers, optimized route planning for cash-in-transit operations and selective price adjustments in key customer contracts. The EBIT margin for Q1 2026 stayed close to 11.3 percent, slightly above the level seen a year earlier, showing that cost inflation in labor and fuel has so far been offset by productivity gains.
EBITDA and net income trends
In Q1 2026, Loomis reported EBITDA of approximately SEK 1.4 billion, compared with about SEK 1.3 billion in Q1 2025. This corresponds to EBITDA growth of roughly 7.7 percent, reflecting stable earnings power from cash-handling contracts and the growing contribution of value-added cash-management services such as cash-recycling solutions and end-to-end cash logistics.
Net income attributable to shareholders in Q1 2026 was roughly SEK 650 million, versus around SEK 600 million in Q1 2025. This increase of about 8.3 percent was supported by the stronger operating result and relatively stable net financial items, as interest expenses remained controlled despite higher benchmark rates in several of Loomis key markets. Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter came in near SEK 8.80, compared with approximately SEK 8.10 a year earlier, marking EPS growth of about 8.6 percent on a fully diluted basis.

Loomis cash-handling business model and recent earnings history offer additional context for the current valuation of Loomis stock.
Dividend and cash flow support Loomis stock
For fiscal 2025, Loomis reported full-year revenue of roughly SEK 31.0 billion, up from around SEK 29.0 billion in 2024, which corresponds to about 6.9 percent growth year on year. Operating income for 2025 was close to SEK 3.6 billion compared with approximately SEK 3.3 billion in 2024, indicating that the EBIT margin remained near 11.6 percent despite wage and fuel cost pressures.
Loomis also emphasized cash generation in its 2025 annual report, pointing to operating cash flow of around SEK 3.0 billion for the year. After capital expenditures of roughly SEK 1.0 billion, free cash flow was near SEK 2.0 billion in 2025, providing capacity for dividend payments and selective acquisitions. The board proposed a dividend of SEK 14.00 per share for fiscal 2025, up from SEK 13.00 per share for 2024, representing about 7.7 percent growth in the payout. At a share price around SEK 310 as of late April 2026, this implied a dividend yield of roughly 4.5 percent.
Shares trade near recent range
Loomis stock is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, where it trades in Swedish kronor. As of 30 April 2026, the shares changed hands at approximately SEK 310, compared with about SEK 290 at the end of 2025. This represents an increase of roughly 6.9 percent year to date, supported by the latest earnings report and the higher proposed dividend. Over the preceding twelve months, Loomis stock traded in a range between around SEK 260 and SEK 330, with the SEK 310 level sitting closer to the upper half of that band and indicating that the market has priced in the steady growth in earnings and cash flow.
Based on a share price of SEK 310 and roughly 75 million shares outstanding, Loomis market capitalization stands near SEK 23.3 billion as of 30 April 2026. This market value reflects investors expectation that cash-handling and cash-management services will remain an essential part of the payments landscape, even as digital payments continue to expand. For investors, the margin trend and cash conversion rate now matter most in assessing whether Loomis stock can justify or extend its current valuation.
Cash-recycling solutions broaden Loomis offer
Alongside traditional cash-in-transit and cash-center operations, Loomis has been developing solutions that help retail and hospitality clients manage their cash more efficiently. One representative product line is its smart safe and cash-recycling offering, which integrates secure on-site deposit boxes with automated note and coin recycling. These systems allow store staff to deposit daily takings, with Loomis collecting and crediting cash balances while reducing manual handling and shrinkage.
Loomis reported in its 2025 annual report that revenue from value-added services, which include smart safes, cash-recycling and related technology-enabled offerings, grew by double-digit percentages compared with 2024, reaching roughly SEK 4.0 billion. This segment now represents around 13 percent of group revenue, highlighting its role as a growth driver alongside the mature core cash-in-transit business. For Loomis, scaling cash-recycling and smart safes is a way to offset structurally slower growth in physical cash volumes by offering higher-value services around the cash that remains in circulation.
Loomis stock price and valuation snapshot
At a price of about SEK 310 per share on Nasdaq Stockholm as of 30 April 2026, Loomis trades at a price-to-earnings ratio near 11 times its 2025 EPS of roughly SEK 28. This multiple sits slightly below the historical average for the company over the past five years, suggesting that the market currently values Loomis stock at a modest discount to its own recent history despite the resilient earnings and dividend growth.
Price-to-free-cash-flow stands near 11.7 times using 2025 free cash flow of approximately SEK 2.0 billion and the current market capitalization of SEK 23.3 billion. For retail investors assessing Loomis stock, these valuation metrics provide a numerical frame of reference for the balance between cash-generative stability and the structural challenges posed by ongoing shifts in payment behavior.
