Mycronic reported significant top-line growth in its second quarter, with net sales up 17% to SEK 2.42 billion. The figure surpassed the consensus estimate of SEK 2.22 billion compiled from five analysts, underscoring stronger-than-expected commercial momentum.
Order intake was a standout metric for the period, jumping 119% to reach a record SEK 2.92 billion. The company said all of its divisions contributed to the surge in orders, singling out Global Technologies, High Volume and Pattern Generators as the main contributors to the record intake.
Global Technologies was identified as the primary driver of sales growth during the quarter. Mycronic reported second-quarter operating profit (EBIT) of SEK 698 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 29% for the period.
Following the quarterly results, the company raised its net sales guidance for fiscal 2026 to SEK 9.25 billion from a prior outlook of SEK 8.75 billion. Management attributed the upward revision to continued robust demand tied to AI infrastructure deployments and growth in optical communications.
The High Volume division experienced particularly strong conditions, supported by demand in Chinese consumer electronics markets and by emerging opportunities linked to AI infrastructure spending. While the report highlights these demand drivers, it does not quantify the split of sales by end market beyond noting the divisions involved.
On the restructuring front, Mycronic reiterated plans for its PCB Assembly Solutions business with a targeted improvement in profitability. The restructuring program is designed to lift that unit's EBIT margin to above 10% by the end of 2027.
