Embracer Group (OM:EMBRAC B) has drawn fresh attention after reporting first quarter 2026 results alongside new earnings guidance for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2026 to 2027.
The company reported first quarter revenue of SEK 4,006 million compared with SEK 3,261 million a year earlier, and net income of SEK 39 million compared with a net loss of SEK 411 million in the prior year period.
At the same time, Embracer Group issued guidance that points to year on year Cash EBIT improvement in the second quarter, following a similar pattern to the first quarter, and projected full year Cash EBIT of at least SEK 1.0b.
Embracer Group’s recent guidance and turnaround to a profit appear to have supported momentum, with the share price at SEK74.32, a 30-day share price return of 15.48%, and a year-to-date share price return of 27.35%, while the 5-year total shareholder return remains down 66.19%.
