The Stockholm Stock Exchange is expected to open the final trading day of the week roughly unchanged. The morning news flow is dominated by a series of corporate earnings reports, notably from telecom giant Ericsson, which delivered a weaker-than-expected set of results.

Significant attention is also focused on high-profile savings expert Günther Mårder, who has been remanded in custody on suspicion of aggravated insider trading between 2024 and 2026. Mårder serves as Chairman of Spotlight Group and is a board member at Raysearch, Amido, and the Swedish Public Employment Service. He has also been proposed as a board member for Prisma Properties. Mårder denies the allegations.

Geopolitical tensions remain a central concern. U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a ten-day ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Lebanon, and expressed expectations that the conflict with Iran will conclude shortly.

Euro Stoxx 50 futures are down 0.22 percent, FTSE 100 futures are retreating 0.02 percent, and DAX futures have slipped 0.09 percent.

U.S. S&P 500 futures are trading broadly flat.

Among the earnings reports, Ericsson's Q1 results fell short of expectations. Adjusted EBITA came in at SEK 5.6 billion against an expected 5.8 billion, while adjusted gross profit landed at SEK 23.7 billion, 2.9 percent below forecasts. Revenue also missed the mark.

Real estate firm Platzer reported a slight increase in profit from property management for the first quarter, reaching SEK 196 million. Rental income decreased by 2.2 percent to SEK 435 million.

Terranor has been awarded six new road maintenance contracts in the Swedish Transport Administration's latest tender, with a total value of approximately SEK 1.64 billion. This represents annual revenue of at least SEK 366 million, compared to SEK 251 million from expiring contracts.

Mining company Lundin Mining expects a positive revenue impact of approximately USD 22 million from preliminary price adjustments related to prior metal sales during the first quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, results are weighed down by realized derivative losses of approximately USD 13 million and unrealized losses of approximately USD 10 million, linked to the mark-to-market valuation of remaining derivative contracts, primarily due to the revaluation of gold collar contracts.

Environmental technology company Nederman saw a decline in revenue, order intake, and profit during the first quarter.

DIY retailer Byggmax reported lower revenue and a slightly weaker operating result of SEK -127.0 million for the first quarter. Comparable sales decreased by 5.3 percent during the period, with a minor negative impact from currency effects.

In analyst news, Deutsche Bank has initiated coverage on Skanska with a Buy rating and a price target of SEK 300.

DNB Carnegie has downgraded Kinnevik to Hold (from Buy), with the price target lowered to SEK 63 (from 100).

Fabege, Fleming Properties, Husqvarna, and JM are trading ex-dividend today.
