Sweco CEO Åsa Bergman announced her resignation on October 2, 2026, after 35 years with the company, while Sweco stock was trading at EUR 11.28 at Lang & Schwarz at 4:41 p.m. CEST, down 1.31 percent versus the prior close of EUR 11.43 on October 1, 2026. According to Cision on October 2, 2026, the board has started recruiting a successor, while Bergman will remain in her role until that appointment.

Leadership change starts a search

Bergman has led Sweco for close to nine years, according to Cision, which described her tenure as a period of growth, internationalization and technical development. The leadership transition therefore comes with an established operating record and a formal handover arrangement rather than an immediate departure.

The market reaction was negative at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026, but the 1.31 percent decline remains a same-day trading signal rather than evidence of a change in Sweco's operating outlook. The stock's primary-market quote was SEK 127.40 on Nasdaq Stockholm at 4:54 p.m. CEST, while its 52-week range was SEK 122.00 to SEK 179.80.

Second-quarter margins improved

The second-quarter 2026 figures provide the latest operating benchmark. A report cited by Skirner said net sales increased to SEK 8.567 billion from SEK 7.834 billion in the second quarter of 2025, a 9.36 percent rise.

EBITA increased to SEK 864 million from SEK 750 million, while the EBITA margin widened to 10.10 percent from 9.60 percent in the second quarter of 2025. Profit for the period reached SEK 601 million, up from SEK 495 million, a 21.41 percent increase that gives investors a clearer profitability measure than the day's share-price move.

Next report arrives October 29

Affarsvarlden lists October 29, 2026, for Sweco's third-quarter report. The company had SEK 46.0 billion in market capitalization as of October 2, 2026, and the scheduled report will give investors the next test of whether the second-quarter margin improvement is continuing.
