The OMXS30’s record‑setting rise through July 2026 stays underpinned by solid industrial earnings. Second‑quarter results released on 26 July confirmed profit growth across Swedish‑listed firms, with order‑intake surpluses at Atlas Copco and an especially strong data‑center‑driven order book at ABB. Analysts such as Lars Söderfjell (Ålandsbanken) said the results “promise a good second half,” while Maria Landeborn (Danske Bank) highlighted heightened corporate activity at SEB and Nordea. ~~The snapshot adds that~~ Astra Zeneca posted a 6.4 % revenue increase to US$15.4 billion and earnings per share 6 % above consensus, reinforcing ~~the~~ earnings breadth. Brent crude fell to US$85.92 per barrel after a temporary lull in hostilities in the Hormuz Strait, though experts warned the region remains a market‑risk “joker” that could quickly reverse sentiment. European rates slipped, and ECB policymaker Peter Kazimir cautioned that at least one more rate hike is likely needed to curb inflation, adding a layer of monetary‑policy uncertainty to the outlook. Valuations on the Stockholm exchange are judged not overly stretched. The upbeat outlook is tempered by lingering geopolitical risk from the Hormuz Strait and, according to some analysts, the approaching U.S. election cycle, which could dampen sentiment if tensions rise.
