Revenue rises in second quarter

Alfa Laval reported revenue of SEK 18.12 billion for the second quarter of 2026, up 13.80 percent from the second quarter of 2025. Operating profit reached SEK 2.93 billion, while net income was SEK 2.03 billion for the same period.

The company generated SEK 2.41 billion in operating cash flow during the second quarter of 2026. Its second-quarter report also indicated that demand in the third quarter was expected to be somewhat lower than in the second quarter, a factor that places the upcoming report at the center of the valuation discussion.

Stock remains near yearly high

The Swedish share price stood at SEK 591.20 on October 14, 2026, against a 52-week range of SEK 426.40 to SEK 595.40. The latest level was 0.71 percent below the 52-week high, leaving a narrow gap between the quotation and the upper end of its annual range.

Alfa Laval had a market capitalization of SEK 244.4 billion on October 14, 2026, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 29.81 and a trailing dividend yield of 0.02 percent. The valuation leaves the analyst target especially relevant because Citigroup's SEK 588.00 target is below the latest Swedish share price, while RBC Capital Markets set a SEK 650.00 target and kept a Buy rating on October 9, 2026, according to The Globe and Mail.

Results arrive October 27

Alfa Laval is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 report on October 27, 2026, followed by a Capital Markets Day on November 18, 2026, according to the company's investor calendar. The dates give investors two defined checkpoints for testing order intake, demand and margin expectations.
