Ericsson Investors Concerned over Component Costs

0750 GMT - Ericsson faces surging component prices and the market isn't convinced that the company can offset costs through contract renegotiation and efficiency measures, J.P. Morgan says. While Ericsson's weaker gross margin guidance for networks in the third quarter is a function of new project rollout costs, the company has flagged input costs as gradually more negative in the second half and 2027. The company is working to mitigate costs through product substitution, supply chain actions and customer contract renegotiations. On the positive side, group operating expenditure this year is estimated at 78 billion Swedish kronor ($8.06 billion), from 81.5 billion kronor in 2025, and a new licensing deal should also be accretive to margins. The bank rates Ericsson at neutral with a 102 kronor price target. Shares fall 0.4% to 98.12 kronor. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
