Ericsson posts Q3 2026 sales growth but profit halves
Ericsson reported third‑quarter 2026 sales of SEK 59.5 billion, up 6‑7% year‑on‑year, while adjusted EBITA fell 36% to SEK 10.1 billion and net income dropped 49% to SEK 5.8 billion. CEO Per Narvinger said component cost increases and geopolitical uncertainty will keep margin pressure on the business. The company also announced a simplification of its operating structure to improve efficiency.
Why it matters
The company warned that margin pressure will continue into next year, which may limit earnings growth. Net income of $601.9 M and EPS of 18 cents beat analysts’ expectations, a factor that could support the share price in the short term.
