Peab AB

Peab AB maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.18, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is characterized as medium, with a current ratio of 1.38, suggesting it can cover its short-term obligations but with limited surplus. Free cash flow stands at 613 million SEK, which is lower than the operating cash flow of 1,753 million SEK, reflecting capital expenditures of 668 million SEK. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 4.06% and a return on assets (ROA) of 1.18%, both below the industry median for Construction & Engineering firms. The operating margin is 4.81% (calculated as operating income of 814 million SEK divided by revenue of 16,928 million SEK), which is also below the industry median. These figures suggest Peab AB is underperforming in terms of capital efficiency and profitability relative to its peers. Peab AB's revenue is concentrated in its core construction and engineering services, with no disclosed geographic diversification in the provided data. The company's exposure to regional economic conditions and regulatory environments is therefore likely high, though specific geographic breakdowns are not available in the current dataset. Looking ahead, Peab AB is projected to experience a modest growth trajectory, with no specific numeric deltas provided in the outlook. Historical revenue growth is not disclosed, but the company's capital expenditures and operating cash flow suggest a focus on maintaining and expanding its project-based operations. The risk assessment indicates a low dilution potential, with no significant changes in shares outstanding between basic and diluted figures. The risk profile of Peab AB includes a medium liquidity risk, primarily due to its current ratio and the negative net cash position after subtracting total debt. Credit risk is not explicitly quantified, but the company's leverage and liquidity position suggest a moderate exposure to financial stress in a downturn. Analysts have assigned a mean recommendation of 1.83, indicating a generally positive outlook, with three strong-buy ratings and one buy rating. Recent events and filings have not been disclosed in the provided data, so no specific developments can be cited. However, the company's financial snapshot and risk assessment suggest a stable but not particularly dynamic business environment.
