Ericsson (ISIN SE0000108656) reported a repurchase of 100,000 Class B shares for the October 19 to October 23, 2026 period, while its third-quarter sales reached SEK 59.5 billion after 7 percent organic growth. The buyback update came from PR Newswire on October 26, 2026.

Buyback adds a capital-return signal

The disclosed purchase covered 100,000 shares on October 23, 2026 at a weighted average price of SEK 103.6445. The transaction value was SEK 10.36445 million, according to the same PR Newswire release. The figure is small relative to Ericsson's overall equity base, but it gives investors a dated view of the company's ongoing capital allocation.

Three recent figures frame Ericsson

On October 15, 2026, Ericsson reported third-quarter sales of SEK 59.5 billion, compared with SEK 56.2 billion a year earlier. Organic sales growth was 7 percent, while adjusted gross income increased 5 percent year over year to SEK 28.4 billion and adjusted gross margin was 47.7 percent, down from 48.1 percent. On October 16, 2026, SEB raised its target for Ericsson from SEK 120 to SEK 127 while reiterating its buy recommendation, as reported by MarketScreener.

What does the margin show?

The quarter combined stronger sales with modest gross-margin pressure. Ericsson's adjusted gross margin of 47.7 percent was 0.4 percentage points below the 48.1 percent recorded in the third quarter of 2025, while the Networks business delivered 9 percent organic sales growth. That mix makes Networks execution and component costs important indicators for the next results update.
