Quarterly results

ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).

E/P over time

E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.

Today's P/E sits at the 100 percentile of its own 3-quarter history (min 18.1, median 20.2, max 25.2; quarters with earnings only).

    Memo

    Instalco AB (INSTAL.ST). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2025-12-31.

    Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 13.6 bn SEK in 2025; YoY growth -0.7%; net margin 2.5%; ROE 10.7%.

    The estimated value range is 19.90–41.67 SEK per share (median of 3 methods, agreement: low); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 27.41 SEK, the price of 41.62 SEK leaves a potential of -34.1% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -51.8% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

    olivLaw score 51/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: growth. Not investment advice.

    Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

    What supports the thesis

    • FCF conversion: 269.5%
    • FCF yield: 8.3%
    • Payout ratio (FCF): 19.7%

    What contradicts it

    • Current ratio: 1.1x
    • Shareholder yield (distributions): 1.6%
    • The valuation methods diverge

    Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): Revenue CAGR 3Y, EPS CAGR 3Y, Net debt / EBITDA, EV/EBITDA.
