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

Midsona’s 3.1% Margin Puts Volatile EPS in Context

  • On a trailing basis Midsona has a 3.1% net profit margin and SEK 112 million of net income on SEK 3,591 million of revenue, compared with a 0.5% margin the year before according to the analysis data.
  • Bulls often focus on this higher 3.1% margin and very large trailing earnings growth. Yet the quarterly pattern, with EPS moving from SEK 0.56 in Q1 2026 to SEK 0.08 in Q2 2026, shows that profitability has not been smooth, which challenges a simple bullish story built only on the trailing margin.
    • Supporters point to trailing EPS of SEK 0.77 versus small profits and losses in earlier quarters, while critics will notice that Q2 net income of SEK 12 million is far below the SEK 82 million reported in Q1 2026.
    • That tension between a stronger 12 month picture and choppy individual quarters means any bullish argument about a clean earnings reset is heavily dependent on which time frame an investor emphasizes.

Revenue Growth Forecasts Outpace Swedish Market

  • Revenue is forecast to grow about 4.8% per year while the Swedish market is forecast to decline 1.7% per year, so Midsona’s top line is expected to move differently to the broader market in the analysis dataset.
  • Supportive bullish arguments say Midsona’s focus on health and organic products can justify that 4.8% revenue growth outlook. Yet the recent reported revenue range of SEK 865 million to SEK 937 million per quarter shows only modest movement so far, which keeps the bullish growth story grounded in fairly small changes rather than rapid expansion.
    • Backers of the growth angle will highlight that trailing 12 month revenue of SEK 3,591 million still sits close to the SEK 3,735 million level seen a year earlier, while skeptics may argue that such tight bands make it hard to see a clear acceleration in the reported numbers.
    • What stands out is that the forecast gap versus the Swedish market is large on paper, but the recent quarterly revenue figures suggest any bullish case on growth rests more on future execution than on a clear step change in the last few quarters.

16.4x P/E and DCF Fair Value Gap

  • Midsona trades on a trailing P/E of 16.4x at a share price of SEK 12.65, which is below the peer average P/E of 28.2x and well below the quoted DCF fair value of SEK 29.29 in the analysis data.
  • Bullish views often lean on that gap between the SEK 12.65 price and the SEK 29.29 DCF fair value. However, the fact that the 16.4x P/E is in line with the European Food industry average means the bullish case is built more on the specific DCF assumptions than on any clear across the board discount versus the wider sector.
    • Supporters will point out that a P/E below peers, combined with a DCF fair value more than double the current share price, looks supportive for those who believe in the company’s 10.9% forecast earnings growth rate.
    • On the other hand, the industry level P/E match at 16.4x suggests that if earnings growth or margins were to look more similar to the sector over time, some of that perceived valuation gap could simply reflect normal sector pricing rather than a clear mispricing.
