As listed companies close the books on the first quarter this week, the risk of profit warnings is mounting. Dagens industri has reviewed which firms are currently in the danger zone.

The conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran has driven up energy and commodity prices, fueling heightened market uncertainty. In Sweden, profit warnings have already been issued by mining giant Boliden, cybersecurity firm Yubico, outdoor products group Dometic, and contract manufacturer Note. However, the reasons cited have been largely company-specific rather than tied to broader market volatility.

The forestry and automotive sectors are identified as particularly vulnerable, with companies such as Billerud, SCA, and Autoliv in the crosshairs. Essity is also highlighted as a concern.

"The krona's depreciation against the dollar and the euro provides a tailwind for companies like AB Volvo, Sandvik, and Atlas Copco when international subsidiary earnings are translated back into SEK. For Autoliv, however, the effect is the opposite," the newspaper reports.

Among Nordic peers, the publication notes profit warnings from medtech firm Chemometec and Norwegian packaging company Elopak.
