12%Stockholm exchange expected to open lower after busy earnings morning. Published on 10/22/2026 at 02:43 am EDT Finwire - Translated by Marketscreener - See original The Stockholm exchange looks set to open Thursday after a busy flow of earnings reports. Euro Stoxx 50 futures are down 1.13 percent, FTSE 100 futures are down 0.52 percent and DAX futures are down 0.83 percent. Major bank SEB reported third-quarter operating profit that was below analysts' expectations. Revenue also came in below consensus, primarily due to weaker net trading income. The board has also decided to pause further buybacks, citing continued loan growth and temporarily higher capital requirements from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. Full-year costs are expected to be lower than the previous target. Major bank Swedbank reported third-quarter results that were roughly in line with expectations. The common equity Tier 1 ratio was 17.2 percent (19.7). Telecom operator Telia raised its forecast for adjusted EBITDA growth to 3-4 percent, from approximately 3 percent previously. Free cash flow is expected to amount to at least SEK 9bn, compared with approximately SEK 9bn previously. Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 was in line with expectations. Telecom company Nokia's adjusted operating profit was 31 percent higher than expected in Q3. The company reiterated its forecast for adjusted operating profit of €2.1-2.6bn for full-year 2026. The company expects earnings to come in above the midpoint of the range. Sandvik reported both higher revenue and better-than-expected adjusted EBITA for the third quarter. Essity beat expectations for adjusted earnings. Revenue rose in line with consensus. Technology consultancy Afry surprised with higher-than-expected adjusted EBITA. The order book increased, while cash flow from operating activities fell sharply. The company reiterated its financial targets for 2028. Hexatronic's adjusted EBITA clearly exceeded expectations. All business areas grew organically, and Data Center more than doubled its revenue. Dometic reported better-than-expected revenue and adjusted EBITA. Net income was weighed down by a large goodwill impairment. Mask writer company Mycronic raised its forecast for full-year net sales from SEK 9.25bn to SEK 9.75bn. Q3 figures were significantly better than expected. Residential property platform Hemnet reported higher-than-expected EBITDA for Q3. Revenue declined but was in line with expectations. The lower revenue was partly explained by the Sell First, Pay Later service, where revenue is recognized only when the property is sold. The company expects the deferred revenue to be realized in coming periods. Outside the earnings season, it was noted that private equity firm CVC is considering making a bid for alarm company Verisure and taking the company private, approximately one year after its Stockholm listing. The Financial Times reported this, citing sources. Pharmacy company Meds Apotek said the move to its new logistics center in Eskilstuna weighed on revenue and operating profit more than previously estimated during the third quarter. The negative revenue impact is preliminarily estimated at approximately SEK 50m, compared with the previously expected SEK 25m. The impact on operating profit, excluding IFRS leasing, is estimated at approximately SEK 9m, compared with the previously forecast SEK 6m. Among this morning's recommendation changes, SEB downgraded Husqvarna to sell from hold. Handelsbanken also upgraded Getinge to buy from hold. | / | Price | Change today | Time | | Euro Stoxx 50 futures | 6 150,00 | -1,13% | 08:22:00 | | FTSE 100 futures | 10 729,50 | -0,54% | 08:26:53 | | DAX futures | 25 555,00 | -0,83% | 08:21:55 | | S&P 500 futures | 7 733,75 | -0,85% | 08:26:59 | | Nasdaq 100 futures | 29 531,25 | -1,59% | 08:26:53 | | Sweden 10 Y | 3,18% | 0,00 | 16:18:03 | | Germany 10 Y | 3,43% | 0,00 | 08:36:56 | | US 10 Y | 5,08% | -0,04 | 08:36:49 | | UK 10 Y | 5,37% | 0,00 | 18:00:04 | | Italy 10 Y | 4,64% | 0,08 | 08:36:47 | | France 10 Y | 5,05% | 0,05 | 08:36:57 | | Spain 10 Y | 4,07% | 0,00 | 17:08:04 | | Norway 10 Y | 4,52% | 0,00 | 16:00:03 | | Denmark 10 Y | 3,21% | 0,00 | 08:36:44 | | EUR/USD | 1,1245 | 0,0012 | 08:36:55 | | USD/JPY | 157,0940 | -1,0440 | 08:36:53 | | USD/SEK | 9,8860 | 0,0003 | 08:36:57 | | EUR/SEK | 11,1175 | 0,0119 | 08:36:56 | | GBP/SEK | 13,2515 | 0,0088 | 08:36:55 | | USD/NOK | 9,3503 | -0,0140 | 08:36:57 | | EUR/NOK | 10,5145 | -0,0054 | 08:36:57 | | NOK/SEK | 1,0573 | 0,0014 | 08:36:54 | | USD/DKK | 6,6475 | -0,0071 | 08:36:52 | | DKK/SEK | 1,4874 | 0,0018 | 08:36:54 | | Brent, USD/barrel | 111,63 | 2,58% | 08:26:57 | | WTI, USD/barrel | 99,40 | 2,32% | 08:26:54 | | Natural gas, USD/mmbtu | 2,76 | -0,97% | 08:26:51 | | Dutch TTF natural gas (NDEX), euro/mwh | 88,66 | 1,40% | 08:26:53 | | Gold futures, USD/oz | 4 110,90 | -0,94% | 08:26:53 | | Silver futures, USD/oz | 56,36 | -2,34% | 08:26:41 | | Source: Factset | / | / | / | (C) Finwire - 2026

At APEX, Mycronic highlights new development in manufacturing, led by GenI. Mycronic is a leading Sweden-based electronics assembly solutions provider and invites visitors to explore their next innovations and discover the factory of the future at APEX 2026, Anaheim, CA., March 17 - 19, booth 2135 Introducing the new GenI(TM) Generative AOI Programming Mycronic will introduce GenI, a groundbreaking solution that autonomously generates production-ready 3D AOI inspection programs using only pick-and-place data and an initial 3D AOI scan. Are you ready to liberate yourself from AOI programming? This is exactly what GenI offers. Whatever your product mix, full coverage 3D AOI can be just minutes away. With zero model creation. Zero complex AOI engineering. And zero library management. GenI generative AOI Programming is the first of its kind to autonomously create production-ready 3D AOI inspection programs based solely on pick-and-place and initial 3D AOI scan data. Visit the Mycronic booth and see the confidence of inline 3D AOI metrology for every batch, without the programming downtime. Users can introduce any new product, any new component, and any new layout with total control - and total programming freedom. Discover a new era in generative inspection with Mycronic. New big board capabilities Mycronic has launched the MYPro A41DX and A41SX, new pick-and-place units designed for large PCB production, offering enhanced adaptability, efficiency, and performance for future manufacturing needs. These machines enable assembly of big boards up to 1,000 mm x 609 mm, 12.5 mm thick, and up to 10 kg - ideal for telecom, server, defense, and aerospace industries, where larger boards mean reduced interconnect complexity, greater durability, and lower costs. The A41 series includes benefits from the A40 series, such as the MX7 mounthead, which precisely places a wider range of component sizes on large substrates. MYPro Create One dataset. One program. One workflow. Multi-machine programming just got a lot smoother. At the beginning of 2025, Mycronic rolled out MYPro Create, a software tool that eliminates the need for customers to operate multiple software programs and spending hours on repetitive data entry. With MYPro Create you have an all-in-one solution for effortless job creation across Mycronic Jet Printers, SPI, and AOI machines from the same data set to achieve fast and streamlined programming. BA 01 small dot ejector for dispensing flexibility in jet printing Introducing the new BA 01 small dot ejector - engineered to redefine flexibility in jet printing for precision, efficiency, and more flexibility. Small dot dispensing is engineered to meet the demands of modern PCB design, delivering high flexibility and significant performance enhancements for (small) dot volume, size, and pad pitch. * Minimum dot volume reduced from 1.9 nL to 1.0 nL * Minimum dot diameter reduced from 215 μm to 180 μm * Minimum pad pitch reduced from 0.4 mm to 0.35 mm As PCBs continue to increase in complexity and size, challenges such as board stretch or shrinkage become more common. Advanced jet printing solutions for large and ultra-slim PCBs are uniquely capable of adapting to these changes in real-time, an essential feature for maintaining high yield when working with small pads and fine-pitch components. Existing MY700 Jet Printer users who are looking for even more flexible paste printing can achieve smaller dot and fine pitch printing with accurate and efficient results with the BA 01 small dot ejector. Integrated full-line solution MYPro Line delivers a true full-line, end-to-end assembly solution, empowering Mycronic customers to seamlessly manage evolving workflows.
