Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson ( (ERIC) ) has shared an update.
During the week of May 4–8, 2026, Ericsson repurchased 2.65 million Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm at a weighted average price of SEK 110.19, for a total consideration of about SEK 292 million. The transactions were executed by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE under Ericsson’s ongoing share buyback program of up to SEK 15 billion, which runs from April 23, 2026 to March 31, 2027.
Following these purchases, Ericsson holds 46.76 million Class B shares in treasury out of a total 3.37 billion shares outstanding across Classes A and B. The board plans to propose at the 2027 AGM that repurchased shares not needed for share-based incentive plans be cancelled, a move that could reduce share count and potentially enhance value for remaining shareholders while underscoring Ericsson’s capital-return strategy.
The most recent analyst rating on (ERIC) stock is a Hold with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson stock, see the ERIC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on ERIC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ERIC is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by improved profitability, strong free cash flow quality, and manageable leverage, reinforced by constructive trend signals and a modest P/E. It is held back by declining revenue in 2025/TTM, historical volatility, and near-term risks from FX pressure, elevated restructuring costs, Enterprise segment losses, and potential H2 input-cost inflation.
