Ericsson ADR slides as Q1 revenue misses expectations despite new buyback plan

None

Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (ERIC) is down 5.3% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The stock appears to be reacting primarily to the company’s first-quarter results, where revenue came in below expectations, alongside profit pressure tied to restructuring and higher input costs. Even with a newly launched share repurchase program, the market focus seems to have been on weaker sales and margins.

Details:

  • The company reported first-quarter revenue of about $5.4 billion, which fell short of the analyst estimate cited in market data coverage.
  • Quarterly profit was about $97 million; on an adjusted basis, earnings were reported at roughly $0.13 per share, indicating results were supported by adjustments that excluded restructuring impacts.
  • Reported net income fell sharply year over year, with restructuring charges cited as a key driver alongside cost headwinds (including components linked to increased AI-related demand for semiconductors).
  • Separately, Ericsson’s board approved a share buyback program of up to SEK 15 billion, with repurchases expected to begin as early as April 23, 2026.
