Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 2 findings
−4 of −30
  • Unlisted holdings (Mölnlycke)
    Mölnlycke, the largest unlisted investment, grew only 2% organically in H1 2026 (wound care 2%), and Patricia Industries delivered −3% in total return vs +14% for the listed holdings. Portfolio companies' EBITA rose 13%, though.
    −2
  • Capital allocation (Electrolux)
    Investor is subscribing for its share (about SEK 1.7bn) and guaranteeing a further 1.7bn in Electrolux's SEK 9bn rights issue. Investor owns 17.9% of the capital and 30.4% of the votes in a company that has had to strengthen its balance sheet and hand parts of North American production to Midea; more money is being sent after a weak holding.
    −2

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 2 findings
−9 of −35
  • Premium to net asset value vs own history
    The B share trades at a 3.0% premium to net asset value (24 Sep 2026) vs an average discount of about 8% over the last five years (Placera); P/B 1.14 vs 0.96–1.09 in 2021–2025. The discount that historically gave a margin of safety is gone.
    −7
  • Peers
    The 3.0% premium is higher than Industrivärden C (+1.4%) and Latour (+2.8%) and far from Lundbergs (−10.6%) and Kinnevik (−43.9%). Among the large Swedish investment companies, only Öresund is more expensive.
    −2

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 2 findings
−2 of −35
  • Governance
    The Wallenberg sphere controls Investor via the A shares (the B share has 1/10 of a vote); insiders own only 0.17% economically.
    −1
  • Unlisted valuation
    Patricia Industries and the EQT investments are valued by Investor itself or by models; EQT Investments fell 2% and Patricia 3% in H1. The premium is also paid for self-valued assets.
    −1

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 2 findings
+4 of +15
  • Strong balance sheet
    Loan-to-value only 1.9% (2.1% at the end of 2025), SEK 28.8bn of gross cash and an average debt maturity of 8.7 years.
    +2
  • Return above index
    Total return of 15% in H1 2026 vs 9% for SIXRX; adjusted net asset value rose to SEK 1,214.7bn (SEK 397 per share from 355 at the end of 2025).
    +2

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Investment company: assessed on premium/discount to net asset value; EPS, P/E (4.7 due to unrealised value gains) and PEG are meaningless, so the PEG formula may give a skewed result. Stockanalysis only has the A share (quote/sto/INVE.A); the B share is the liquid one but trades close to the same price. Only 3 analysts. Net asset value is as of 30 June (SEK 397); Q3 report in October. Portfolio concentration (ABB, Atlas Copco, AstraZeneca and others) has not been examined separately. Industry: closest match is 'Financial data & insurance broking'.
