Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 19.45%, rising 1.0pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 2.2pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 0.1pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.6pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.4pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.76x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.76x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
