Sweco AB (publ)

Sweco AB announced on 2 October 2026 that long-serving CEO and President Åsa Bergman will resign after 35 years at the company, remaining in her role until a successor is appointed. Her departure ends a nearly nine-year leadership tenure at Europe's largest architect and technology consulting firm, raising questions about future leadership direction. The company's Q2 and H1 2026 results showed higher sales and earnings versus the prior year, underpinning an investment story built on operational efficiency and a strong pipeline in rail, hospitals and grid projects. Sweco's narrative projects SEK39.0 billion revenue and SEK3.4 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 6.2% yearly revenue growth and about SEK1.1 billion earnings increase from SEK2.3 billion today, while some of the lowest analysts assumed revenue of about SEK38,100,000,000 and earnings of SEK3,200,000,000 by 2029. Bergman's resignation puts extra focus on whether the incoming CEO will sustain that margin focus and project discipline while managing softer real estate and Finnish demand and ongoing restructuring costs.
