Ericsson LM Telephone Co. (ERIC)

Ericsson LM Telephone Co. files a 20-F with the SEC once a year, in Swedish kronor. In the year to 31 December 2025 it reported revenue of SEK 236,681 million, down 4.5% on the year before. Its profit attributable to shareholders was SEK 28,428 million, up 142040.0%, and diluted earnings per share SEK 8.51.

Earnings per share are per ordinary share, in Swedish kronor. The share that trades in the US can be a depositary share standing for more or fewer ordinary shares, so no price ratio is worked out on this page.

SEK million, from each year's annual report on the SEC's EDGAR, the year linked to its filing, on the IFRS tags the company filed. A line the company does not file under the standard tag is left out rather than estimated. A year marked * shows the figure as the company restated it in a later annual report (Dec 2016, Dec 2017, Dec 2018); the first-filed figure is in the CSV. Profit for the year includes the part that belongs to minority shareholders; profit attributable to shareholders is the part EPS is struck on.
