Bulls say / Bears say
In Q1 2026/27, sales rose 9.9% and EBITA rose 17.6%, while the gross margin improved to 44.3%. Growth and better profitability across all segments suggest the business is gaining sales without sacrificing margins. (Rusta)
Rusta plans 27 store openings in 2026, taking its network to 258 stores, and its online offer is now available in all its markets. That provides a clear route to reach more customers and extend growth beyond existing shops. (Rusta)
Operating cash flow reached SEK 758 million in Q1, and Rusta had a net cash position of SEK 587 million excluding leases at quarter-end. That financial capacity gives the company room to fund expansion while maintaining a robust balance sheet. (Inderes)
Comparable sales grew just 2.2% in Q1, well below total sales growth of 9.9%. This suggests new stores are doing much of the growth work, leaving existing-store momentum less convincing. (Rusta)
Management expects geopolitical uncertainty to push freight and product costs higher by the end of Q2. If currency tailwinds do not fully offset those increases, the recent margin improvement could prove hard to sustain. (Rusta)
Finland and Germany remain challenging markets, with cautious consumers and an EBITA margin of 6.2% in the wider Other markets segment in Q1. Further expansion there may take time to deliver strong returns. (Inderes)
