Bulls say / Bears say
Subscription-driven top-line strength: Q2 net sales rose 11.3% y/y to SEK 2.05 bn, with organic growth of 9.8% driven by a 16.6% increase in spectacles subscriptions to approximately 931 000 customers (Reuters).
Improved per-share profitability: Q1 earnings per share rose to SEK 0.92 from SEK 0.60 y/y, reflecting margin expansion and efficient cost management (Reuters).
Robust EBITDA metrics: Q1 EBIT increased to SEK 186 m, representing a 10.4% margin, underscoring operational leverage in a challenging retail environment (Reuters).
Decelerating organic growth: Q1 organic sales growth slowed to 5.6% from 12.8% a year earlier, highlighting waning momentum in core markets (Interim report Q1 2026).
Tepid traditional retail performance: Non-subscription cash sales grew just 1.0% in Q1, revealing over-reliance on subscription revenue and exposed vulnerability in the cash segment (Interim report Q1 2026).
Elevated leverage: Net debt remained high at SEK 2.864 bn at end-Q1 and increased due to share buy-backs, potentially limiting financial flexibility (Interim report Q1 2026).
