What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CLL is showing a few mildly negative signals versus the same period, though nothing alarming at current levels — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. The point still to be proven is whether this is a short adjustment or the beginning of a weaker trend.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 26.00%, losing 5.3pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 7.5pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.7pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.5pp remained a drag).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 5.3 pp.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.07x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 26.00% after a 5.3pp decline versus the same period last year.
