EQT AB (publ) stock (ISIN SE0012853455) traded at SEK 345.70 on August 18, 2026, with one market snapshot putting its value at SEK 403.827 billion and another showing a last close of SEK 335.90.

The latest market note tied the move to buybacks and valuation support, while a separate news report said EQT bought a majority stake in Melbourne Storm on August 19, 2026.

Buybacks and valuation

The comparison is straightforward: one consensus page showed a 5-day change of -0.19% and a year-to-date move of -3.86%, so the stock has not built a broad 2026 advance despite its size.

That market backdrop matters because EQT had 1.17 billion shares outstanding and volume of 613,993 on August 18, 2026, giving investors a clear picture of scale and trading activity.

Latest quarter missed

The most recent reported quarter cited in market coverage was Q2 2026, when EQT reported revenue of $1.68 billion and earnings per share of $0.39.

That compared with consensus for $1.76 billion in revenue and $0.41 in EPS, a miss of $80 million on sales and $0.02 on earnings. The same quarter a year earlier brought EPS of $0.45, which shows the year-over-year drop in profit power.

Portfolio mix

EQT's strategy mix spans buyout, infrastructure-style, and other private-market businesses, which helps explain why investors track both fund activity and reported earnings.

Analysts on one coverage page were forecasting $4.06 in EPS for the current fiscal year, giving the stock a forward yardstick after the softer Q2 2026 print.

Price and venue
