Revenue rises in Q2 2026

Handelsbanken reported SEK 33.147 billion in revenue for Q2 2026, compared with SEK 32.421 billion in Q1 2026. That sequential increase contrasts with lower profitability, placing greater emphasis on how income converts into earnings.

Net income reached SEK 5.228 billion in Q2 2026, down 17.76 percent from SEK 6.357 billion in Q1 2026. Diluted earnings per share followed the same direction, falling from SEK 3.21 to SEK 2.64.

Assets expand while profit falls

Total assets stood at SEK 3.872 trillion at the end of Q2 2026, up 3.95 percent from SEK 3.725 trillion at the end of Q1. Operating cash flow was SEK 60.910 billion in Q2, compared with SEK 115.732 billion in the previous quarter.

Handelsbanken identifies the Interim Report January-June 2026 as its latest report and lists an October 21, 2026 release for the January-September interim report. The reporting calendar gives investors a dated checkpoint for the next major earnings update.

Stock remains near yearly high

At SEK 153.40, the share was SEK 2.95 below its 52-week high of SEK 156.35 on September 23, 2026. The market capitalization was SEK 298,328,817,111 on the same date, while trading volume reached 3,091,674 shares.

The combination of higher quarterly revenue, lower net income and a share price near its yearly high creates a clear split in the current picture. For investors, the next interim report will show whether revenue growth can support a recovery in earnings per share.
