NCC reports Q2 2026 results: Orders up, but disputes impact earnings
Construction firm NCC reported increased orders and improved business area earnings in Q2 2026. However, the company's overall result was impacted by higher costs associated with ongoing disputes.
Construction company NCC has reported positive performance in the second quarter of 2026, with strengthened underlying profitability and an increased order intake within its contracting operations. The business areas collectively showed higher earnings, though this was offset by increased costs stemming from ongoing disputes.
President and CEO Tomas Carlsson described the quarter's performance as positive, noting the company's continued success in securing attractive projects and maintaining a strong order backlog. However, he acknowledged that the impact of higher costs from legal disputes moderated the overall financial outcome.
The Industry business area experienced a very strong start to the season, and margins within contracting improved. Demand in NCC’s prioritized markets remained robust. Specifics regarding the nature of the disputes or their precise financial implications were not detailed in the interim report.
