Q2 revenue rises sequentially

Securitas reported Q2 2026 revenue of SEK 37.843 billion, up 4.50 percent from SEK 36.211 billion in Q1. Operating income reached SEK 2.636 billion, equivalent to a 7.00 percent margin, while net income was SEK 1.654 billion and earnings per share were SEK 2.88, according to Affarsvarlden in its summary of the January-June interim report published on July 24, 2026. EPS was SEK 2.88 versus SEK 2.56 in Q2 2025, an increase of 12.50 percent.

That operating profile gives investors two contrasting signals: revenue improved sequentially, while the share price still sits below its yearly peak. Securitas is also pursuing a technology-led security mix, with technology and security solutions contributing 35 percent of first-half sales and 54 percent of operating profit, as reported by MarketScreener on September 17, 2026.

Q3 date sets the next checkpoint

MarketScreener lists October 22, 2026, as the date for the Q3 earnings release. The next report will test whether the sequential revenue increase and the margin profile can support the gap between the SEK 154.80 share price and the SEK 167.57 consensus target.
