Systemair (OM:SYSR) Stock Climbs On Margin Gains Despite Cash Flow Strain

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Systemair stock has been quietly grinding higher, with a 90‑day gain of about 16%, and closed at SEK88 just as the latest earnings landed. The immediate question for you is whether that move already reflects the story or if the results reset the debate. The headline this season is margin power. Net profit margin over the last 12 months reached 6.1% compared with 5.5% a year earlier while earnings grew 11.8% and now sit against a reported P/E of 24x. The rest of this report unpacks what that combination really means for the longer term.

Systemair’s results keep the positive thesis intact

For investors leaning positive on Systemair, the latest quarter broadly backs that view. Net sales reached SEK3.28b with 6% organic growth and a modest lift in the group net margin to 6.1%. Earnings per share over the last 12 months rose in line with net income, which supports the idea of a scalable model. Regional growth in North America and Eastern Europe adds weight to the story of diversified demand. The balance sheet looks solid with leverage around 0.65x, even after the Temspec acquisition.

Short term growing pains for the cautious view

There are still some pressure points that line up with a more cautious stance on Systemair. Free cash flow fell to SEK69m as receivables and inventories increased, which shows working capital is absorbing some of the margin progress. Net debt is higher year on year after Temspec, and management is carrying extra safety stock to handle supply issues. Data center orders remain a useful add on rather than a major profit driver. These factors keep execution and cash conversion on the radar.
