SSAB (ISIN SE0000171100) has a SEK 125 price target from Handelsbanken, raised from SEK 120 on October 19, 2026, according to MarketScreener. SSAB's third-quarter report is scheduled for October 28, 2026.
Target rises before Q3 report
The higher target arrived as analysts assessed SSAB's prospects before the quarterly release. MarketScreener reported on October 22, 2026 that Nordea retained a Hold rating and a SEK 95 target, while leaving its 2026 adjusted EBITDA forecast unchanged. Nordea raised its 2027 and 2028 estimates by 3 percent but said consensus margin expectations for 2027 looked too optimistic.
What will the investment add?
SSAB started construction of a new quenching line in Oxelösund on October 13, 2026. The SSAB project carries an investment of SEK 3.3 billion and is planned to add 100,000 tonnes of annual capacity for advanced wear and protection steels, with production planned for 2030.
Three milestones for SSAB
On July 22, 2026, SSAB reported second-quarter revenue of SEK 27,489 million and an operating result of SEK 2,695 million, compared with SEK 25,631 million and SEK 2,140 million a year earlier, according to SSAB. On October 13, the company began the Oxelösund project, and on October 19 Handelsbanken lifted its target from SEK 120 to SEK 125.
