Securitas (ISIN SE0000163594) has an adjusted operating margin of 7.30 percent, the figure highlighted when EFN Finansmagasinet recommended buying the security group on September 17, 2026, as reported by MarketScreener. Securitas stock was EUR 13.56 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 1:59 p.m. CEST, up 0.52 percent versus the prior close of EUR 13.49.
Margin strength meets valuation support
The EFN assessment pointed to a widening role for technology and security solutions. Those activities represented 35.00 percent of sales but 54.00 percent of operating profit in the first half of 2026, according to MarketScreener.
The same report said earnings per share increased 11.00 percent in the first half of 2026, while EFN expected profit to rise 15.00 to 17.00 percent between 2026 and 2028. The figures make operating leverage more important than a simple revenue-growth reading for the security provider.
Second-quarter revenue reaches SEK 37.84 billion
Securitas reported revenue of SEK 37.84 billion and net income of SEK 1.65 billion in the second quarter of 2026, with a profit margin of 4.37 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. Revenue and earnings provide the operating base for the margin argument, while the 11.00 percent earnings-per-share increase supplies the more direct comparison.
