Volvo B stock trades below UBS target after resilient Q2 results

Volvo B (ISIN SE0000115446) was last at SEK 325.90 on Nasdaq Stockholm on September 28, 2026 at 5:29 p.m. CEST, up 0.22 percent from SEK 325.20. The price was 17.49 percent below UBS's SEK 395.00 target, which the bank retained with a Buy rating in a September 25 research update reported by Finanznachrichten.

Q2 margin reached 11.7 percent

Volvo Group's second quarter 2026 delivered adjusted operating income of SEK 14.8 billion and an adjusted operating margin of 11.7 percent, according to the Q2 earnings transcript published by Yahoo Finance on July 17, 2026. Operating cash flow was SEK 5.8 billion, while earnings per share reached SEK 5.10.

The same transcript showed Group Trucks order intake up 33 percent year over year and electric vehicle orders up 39 percent to 5,500 units on a 12-month rolling basis. Those figures point to demand support, but they also leave execution as the central issue for the next quarter.

Q3 tariff impact is SEK 1.1 billion

Management put the underlying third quarter tariff impact at SEK 1.1 billion and said IEEPA refunds were expected to offset the net effect. Freight, material and geopolitical costs therefore remain direct variables for the margin, even as service growth supports earnings quality.

Q3 report is due October 23

The Volvo Group investor calendar lists the third quarter 2026 report for October 23, 2026, giving the market a dated checkpoint for orders, North American deliveries and the tariff outlook, according to the company's investor information page. The coming report will show whether the order momentum is translating into deliveries and whether the 11.7 percent Q2 margin can be sustained.
