Volvo seen to edge up on better-than-feared Q4 profit

Shares in Volvo VOLVb.ST are seen to rise 2-3% after the Swedish truck maker reported a lower-than-expected fall in its Q4 core profit and raised its outlook for 2026

Volvo's operating profit falls 9% to 12.77 billion Swedish crowns ($1.45 billion), but beats the 11.49 billion crowns seen by analysts on average

The group now expects sales of trucks in North America to amount to around 265,000, against 250,000 expected earlier, despite flagging continuous low demand in the market

But J.P Morgan and Jefferies say they expect no big changes to consensus numbers following the print

($1 = 8.8028 Swedish crowns)
