CEO Börje Ekholm indicated that the RAN market will remain flat in 2026, but growth is expected in mission-critical and enterprise sectors. The company plans to increase its defense sector investments and continue reducing its workforce, having cut 5,000 jobs in the past year and announcing 1,600 additional cuts in Sweden.

Net income rose to $910 million (SEK 8.6 billion), up from $545.4 million (SEK 4.9 billion) a year prior, attributed to lower administrative and R&D expenses. Ericsson shares increased 9.34% to $10.47 following the earnings report.
