OM:BEIA B Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Jul 2026
OM:BEIA B Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Jul 2026

TTM earnings of SEK750 million put recent quarters in context

  • Over the last 12 months, Beijer Alma generated SEK7.9b in revenue and SEK750 million in net income excluding extra items, which compares with quarterly net income figures ranging from SEK82 million to SEK216 million across the last six reported quarters.
  • Consensus narrative highlights Beijer Alma's push into automation, sustainability focused components and new markets as key growth drivers. These themes sit against:
    • TTM earnings growth of 13% and a 5.8% annual earnings growth rate over five years, which aligns with the idea of a business benefiting from higher value sectors such as rail and industrial automation.
    • Exposure to cyclical end markets and acquisition related restructuring, such as the Alcomex issues, which can make that earnings path less smooth even when the longer term TTM trend looks constructive.

Margins at 9.5% meet efficiency ambitions

  • Beijer Alma reported a 9.5% net profit margin over the trailing 12 months, compared with 8.9% a year earlier, and quarterly net income excluding extra items has ranged from SEK154 million to SEK216 million over the last four quarters on revenues between SEK1.9b and SEK2.1b.
  • Bulls argue that operational streamlining and flexible manufacturing are key to better profitability, and the margin numbers give them specific points to work with:
    • The move from an 8.9% to 9.5% TTM net margin is consistent with a story of cost efficiency and better mix, especially as TTM revenue sits at about SEK7.9b while TTM earnings reach SEK750 million.
    • At the same time, bears point to restructuring needs around acquisitions like Alcomex and slower organic growth in some areas, which means investors may want to see whether margins stay close to or above 9.5% as those programs continue.

Valuation gap vs DCF and debt risk

  • The share price around SEK296 sits below an analyst price target of SEK329.75 and a DCF fair value of SEK401.65, while the stock trades on a P/E of 23.8x compared with 25.1x for peers and 28.1x for the Swedish Machinery industry.
  • Bears focus on Beijer Alma's high debt level and exposure to cyclical markets, and the current valuation data creates a clear tension for that cautious view:
    • The discount to the DCF fair value of SEK401.65 and to the SEK329.75 analyst target suggests the market is pricing in some of those balance sheet and cycle related concerns despite earnings having grown 13% over the last year.
    • Yet the lower P/E versus peers and the industry means investors who share the bearish worry about debt can still point to concrete compensation in the current valuation, rather than a stock that is priced at a clear premium to its group.
