An update from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson ( (ERIC) ) is now available.
During the week of May 25–29, 2026, Ericsson repurchased 585,379 of its own Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm at a weighted average price of SEK 122.10, for a total consideration of about SEK 71.5 million. The buybacks are part of a previously announced share repurchase program of up to SEK 15 billion running from April 23, 2026 to March 31, 2027, executed by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE under EU market abuse and safe‑harbour rules.
Following these transactions, Ericsson now holds 48,351,778 Class B shares in treasury out of a total share count of 3,371,351,735, which includes both Class A and Class B shares. The board intends to ask the 2027 AGM to approve cancellation of repurchased shares not needed for share‑based incentive plans, a move that would reduce share capital and could enhance earnings per share, signalling continued emphasis on shareholder returns and capital discipline.
The most recent analyst rating on (ERIC) stock is a Hold
with a $11.00 price target.

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.
