Margins Lifted by 5% Trailing Profitability

• Over the last 12 months, XANO Industri converted SEK3.37b of revenue into SEK167.38 million of net income (excluding extra items), which works out to a 5.0% net profit margin compared with 4.4% in the prior year.
• What stands out against the generally cautious, bearish view on XANO Industri is that the long term earnings decline of 20.1% per year over five years sits alongside a 13.8% earnings rise over the last year, supported by a higher trailing margin and a SEK40.6 million one off gain. Critics therefore need to separate this cleaner 5.0% margin from the boosted reported figures to judge how pressured the core business really looks.
  • Bears highlight the multi year earnings decline of 20.1% per year as a key risk, yet the latest trailing net income of SEK167.38 million and margin uplift to 5.0% show that recent profitability is not moving in the same direction as that longer history.
  • At the same time, the SEK40.6 million one off gain and the fact that trailing EPS of SEK2.82 is being compared to a weaker five year trend back up the cautious argument that not all of the recent 13.8% earnings improvement can automatically be assumed to reflect ongoing operating strength.

Earnings Volatility Around SEK43 Million Profit

• Q2 2026 net income (excluding extra items) came in at SEK43 million, compared with a range of SEK10.38 million to SEK75 million over the past five quarters, while quarterly EPS over that period moved between SEK0.17 and SEK1.26 against the latest SEK0.72.
• Supporters of a more bullish angle on XANO Industri often point to its diversified industrial exposure. This recent pattern of quarterly net income between SEK10.38 million and SEK75 million and quarterly revenue between SEK785 million and SEK905 million shows that while results can fluctuate, the business has kept revenue within a fairly tight band even as EPS shifts around.
  • Consistent revenue in the SEK785 million to SEK905 million range across six quarters gives the bullish story some backing that end market demand has held up, even when EPS dropped to SEK0.17 in Q4 2025 or rose to SEK1.26 in Q3 2025.
  • However, the same swings in net income from SEK10.38 million to SEK75 million caution bullish investors that the quality and stability of profit across XANO Industri’s mix of plastics, automation and precision components remain central to any long term upside case.

P/E of 17.3x Versus DCF Fair Value

• XANO Industri trades on a P/E of 17.3x at a share price of SEK48.75, which is below the Swedish market on 19.9x, the Swedish Machinery industry on 26.3x and a peer average of 32.2x, while a DCF fair value of SEK38.59 sits below the current price.
• What is interesting for a cautious, bearish narrative is that the lower 17.3x P/E and 13.8% earnings growth over the last year can look supportive when set against peers. However, the DCF fair value of SEK38.59 and the history of earnings declining 20.1% per year over five years both anchor the argument that the current SEK48.75 price already expects more from margins and profit than the longer term record alone might justify.
  • Relative valuation comparisons that show XANO Industri below the 32.2x peer P/E and the 26.3x sector P/E may encourage investors who focus on multiples, but they do not remove the multi year earnings decline that bears focus on.
  • The gap between the SEK48.75 share price and the DCF fair value estimate of SEK38.59 links back to the bearish concern that one off gains like the SEK40.6 million item can make recent earnings and margins look stronger than ongoing cash generation would suggest.
