Earnings call transcript: Ferronordic Q2 2026 profit jump sends stock up 21%
Ferronordic reported a strong second-quarter profit and revenue jump, driven by accelerated demand in the U.S. for infrastructure and data-center spending. The company's revenue surged 43% to SEK 1.6 billion, while EBITDA nearly doubled to SEK 180 million, marking its highest since late 2022. Operating profit rose to SEK 68 million, reversing a loss from the previous year.
The U.S. business accounted for the majority of growth, with sales up 53% in dollar terms. Net debt to EBITDA improved to 3.0x, meeting management's target range. Ferronordic's stock surged 21.11% to $82.6, just below its 52-week high, indicating strong investor reaction to the profit recovery and improved balance sheet. The U.S. market remains robust, fueled by infrastructure spending and investment in AI-related data centers.
Germany's recovery is gradual, while Kazakhstan's market faces delays in government infrastructure spending. Management attributed the improvement to focus on the aftermarket, cost discipline, and increased use of data in operations.
