Sweco (SE0014960373) stock was priced at EUR 11.69 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 1:08 p.m. CEST. The company had announced on October 2 that President and CEO Åsa Bergman would leave after 35 years at Sweco, while MarketScreener reported on September 23 that Handelsbanken raised its target from SEK 143 to SEK 150 and upgraded the stock to Buy.

CEO transition adds a test

Sweco said Bergman will remain in her role until a successor is appointed. The board has started the recruitment process, making leadership continuity a central issue before the next report.

The change comes after a second quarter in which revenue rose 9.36 percent year over year to SEK 8.57 billion and operating profit reached SEK 845.00 million. The operating margin was 9.90 percent, compared with 9.20 percent in the second quarter of 2025, according to Affarsvärlden.

What does the change mean for margins?

The immediate investor question is whether management can preserve the improved margin while integrating acquisitions and managing project demand. Second-quarter net income was SEK 601.00 million, up from SEK 495.00 million in the same quarter of 2025, while operating cash flow reached SEK 911.00 million, according to the standardized quarterly figures for Sweco.

Three dates frame the story

On July 17, 2026, Sweco reported second-quarter revenue of SEK 8.57 billion and operating profit of SEK 845.00 million. On September 23, 2026, Handelsbanken raised its target from SEK 143 to SEK 150 and changed its recommendation to Buy, as MarketScreener reported. On October 2, 2026, Bergman resigned after 35 years at the company, according to the official release.

Upcoming reporting dates

Sweco will publish its third-quarter 2026 report on October 29, 2026, at 7:20 a.m. CET, followed by a webcast at 9:00 a.m. CET. The full-year 2026 report is scheduled for February 11, 2027, according to the company's investor-relations calendar.

Stock price and next catalyst

For investors, the October 29 report will provide the next quantified test of Sweco's margin progress and the board's ability to maintain operating discipline during the CEO search. Affärsvärlden lists Sweco's market capitalization at SEK 47.2 billion as of October 14, 2026.
