Sandvik's Strong Performance in Q2 2026

On July 17, 2026, Sandvik Aktiebolag released its interim financial results for the second quarter of 2026, detailing impressive growth metrics across various key performance indicators. The company's order intake for the quarter totaled SEK 37,799 million, reflecting a substantial increase from SEK 32,206 million in the same quarter of 2025. This 17% growth in order intake, when adjusted for fixed exchange rates, demonstrates Sandvik's solid position in an increasingly competitive market.

The revenue figures also mirrored this positive trend, with the company reporting total revenues of SEK 36,752 million, which marks a remarkable growth of 24% compared to SEK 29,700 million in Q2 2025. Notably, revenue growth, too, was 23% when accounting for organic performance, confirming that Sandvik's growth trajectory is not solely reliant on external factors, but also on its core business efficacy.

Furthermore, Sandvik showcased its operational strength through its adjusted EBITA, which arrived at SEK 8,306 million, up from SEK 5,629 million, resulting in a robust adjusted EBITA margin of 22.6%, compared to 19.0% in the previous year. Similarly, the adjusted EBIT for the quarter stood at SEK 7,855 million, leading to an adjusted EBIT margin of 21.4%, also demonstrating notable improvement from 17.5% in Q2 2025.

In terms of profitability, Sandvik's adjusted profit before tax increased to SEK 7,601 million, showcasing an increase from SEK 4,855 million, while the profit for the period surged to SEK 5,236 million, up from SEK 3,216 million a year prior. The adjusted profit for the period reached SEK 5,761 million, further highlighting the company's sustainable growth.

Earnings per share, a critical metric for investors, also saw significant growth. The diluted earnings per share increased to SEK 4.17 from SEK 2.56, while the adjusted earnings per share rose to SEK 4.59 from SEK 2.96. These figures reflect the company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value through robust operational management and effective growth strategies.

Despite a noticeable decrease in free operating cash flow, which totaled SEK 3,590 million, down from SEK 5,090 million, the overall results speak to Sandvik's healthy cash-generating capabilities and strategic focus on long-term value creation.

Sandvik's President and CEO, Stefan Widing, emphasized the positive trajectory in the company’s performance, attributing the results to the continued investment in innovation and operational efficiency. The company has a solid foundation on which to build, with expectations for future growth continuing to remain optimistic, aided by ongoing product development and market expansion initiatives.

Looking ahead, Sandvik plans to discuss these results in detail during a conference call scheduled for July 17, 2026, at 1:00 PM CEST, where stakeholders and analysts will have the opportunity to get insights directly from company executives.

In summary, Sandvik's interim report for Q2 2026 showcases remarkable growth across several key financial metrics, underscoring the company's strategic initiatives and operational excellence.
