The latest update is out from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson ( (ERIC) ).
During the week of June 8–12, 2026, Ericsson repurchased 2.7 million of its own Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm at a weighted average price of SEK 114.40, for a total consideration of about SEK 308.9 million. The trades, executed by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, form part of a previously announced share buyback program of up to SEK 15 billion running from April 23, 2026, to March 31, 2027, under EU market‑abuse safe‑harbour rules.
Following these transactions, Ericsson holds 53,076,778 Class B shares in treasury out of a total 3,371,351,735 outstanding shares across both classes. The board plans to ask the 2027 AGM to cancel repurchased shares not needed for share‑based incentive plans, a move that would reduce share count and could enhance earnings per share and capital returns for investors over time.
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.
