Note AB (publ)
Note AB is an electronics manufacturing services company. It makes printed circuit boards, assembled electronic units, and finished electronic products for other companies, then often handles testing, sourcing, and final assembly as well. Its customers are mainly industrial firms that need a reliable outside partner to build products they designed themselves. The company earns money by charging for manufacturing, assembly, procurement, and related production services. In practice, Note sits in the middle of the electronics value chain: it buys components, runs the factory work, and delivers ready-to-use hardware to customers in areas like industrial equipment, medical technology, communications, and other specialist electronics markets. What makes its business model distinct is that it focuses on contract manufacturing rather than selling its own brands. That means its success depends on being a dependable, flexible production partner for customers that want to outsource electronics manufacturing, manage supply chains, and keep production close to their engineering teams.

Q1 in line: NOTE said first-quarter sales came in at SEK 962 million, slightly above the updated March 20 outlook, but organic growth was negative 6% because of a slow start and internal output issues.
Margins held up: Reported operating margin was 8.7%, while the underlying operating margin was 9.1%, a bit above the company’s own underlying guidance range.
Q2 outlook stronger: Management said the March pace was strong and expects Q2 to be by far the best quarter so far, with growth improving through the rest of the year.
STI is key: The recently acquired STI business was described as transformational and should add SEK 550 million to SEK 600 million in sales for the rest of 2026.
Backlog support: Order backlog was said to be up 11% year over year, with the majority of longer-dated orders coming from Security & Defence, supporting growth into 2027.
Cash flow and balance sheet: Operating cash flow was positive at SEK 46 million, and management said leverage should gradually come down even after the acquisitions.
Dividend paused: The company did not propose a dividend for the year, citing investment in the acquired businesses and ongoing growth spending.
