Assa Abloy B stock (ISIN SE0007100581) closed at SEK 347.80 on Nasdaq Stockholm on September 18, 2026, gaining 0.49 percent from the previous session. The latest reported operating figures show H1 2026 net sales of SEK 76.0 billion and EBIT of SEK 13.6 billion, putting profitability ahead of the comparable period.

Margin improves in H1 2026

According to Ad hoc news on September 21, 2026, Assa Abloy reported H1 2026 EBIT of SEK 13.6 billion on net sales of SEK 76.0 billion. The EBIT margin was 17.8 percent, compared with 17.2 percent in H1 2025, an improvement of 0.6 percentage points.

That comparison gives the market a more useful signal than the single-session gain. Sales and EBIT identify the scale of the first-half business, while the margin increase indicates that profit conversion improved year over year in the reporting period ended in H1 2026.

Stock remains below yearly high

The September 18 close came with volume of 2,485,709 shares and an intraday range from SEK 347.10 to SEK 352.40 on Nasdaq Stockholm. The stock therefore finished SEK 4.60 below the session high, while the 0.49 percent daily gain followed a 0.67 percent increase on September 17, 2026.

A separate September 21 market report placed Assa Abloy at EUR 31.46 after a 2.2 percent rise and cited a 52-week high of EUR 37.50. That secondary euro quotation is not the reference price for the Swedish issuer, so the primary Nasdaq Stockholm close remains the relevant market measure here.

SEK 347.80 remains the reference

Assa Abloy B stock stood at SEK 347.80 on Nasdaq Stockholm as of September 18, 2026, after a 0.49 percent daily increase. The H1 2026 margin of 17.8 percent, versus 17.2 percent a year earlier, is the clearest quantified operating comparison in the latest reported figures.
