About this video

Investor AB (publ) announced its Q2 2025 results on July 17, 2025, revealing resilient performance amidst volatile global markets and ongoing portfolio transformation. The company reported an adjusted net asset value (NAV) of SEK 960.6 billion (SEK 314 per share) as of June 30, 2025—an increase of 3% in the quarter when including dividends. While the total shareholder return for the quarter was -5%, the listed companies portfolio delivered a solid 6% total return, outperforming the SIXRX return index. Sales for Q2 2025 amounted to SEK 15,779 million, compared to SEK 16,112 million in the previous year. Net income was SEK 45,297 million, down from SEK 65,204 million in Q2 2024, reflecting a more challenging investment climate and currency effects. Basic earnings per share from continuing operations were SEK 14.79 versus SEK 21.29 a year ago. The company maintained a strong financial foundation, with leverage stable at 1.2% and gross cash totaling SEK 39.7 billion, supporting future investments and shareholder returns. Investor AB continued its active ownership strategy, including acquiring shares in Ericsson for SEK 1.2 billion and making new investments alongside EQT in Fortnox and EQT AB. Patricia Industries, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary group, experienced softer results, with a -6% total return due to lower multiples and adverse currency impacts, despite overall sales stability and continued operational improvements at major subsidiaries such as Mölnlycke. During the quarter, Mölnlycke posted organic sales growth of 7% in constant currency, particularly strong in the Wound Care division, although margins faced headwinds from currency movements. After the quarter’s end, Patricia Industries finalized the USD 2.2 billion acquisition of Nova Biomedical, further strengthening its global healthcare portfolio. Operating profit, asset allocation discipline, and portfolio innovation remain core priorities. Despite headwinds, management expressed confidence in the group’s diversified holdings and long-term value creation strategy.
