Protean Small Cap Pontus Dackmo | “Since Anders Danielsson became CEO in 2018, the quality of Skanska's order backlog has improved materially, with a much larger share of projects carrying higher gross margins than historically. Combined with an improving SG&A ratio, this supports further margin expansion as these projects are executed. In the US, a meaningful portion of IIJA funding remains to be contracted, and we expect the construction market to stay strong beyond the programme itself, supported by sustained investment in critical infrastructure, railways, energy transition projects and semiconductor manufacturing/data centres as an additional growth driver. Europe is entering a similar phase, as years of underinvestment, the energy transition and rising NATO spending push governments toward higher infrastructure spend. Consensus, however, still expects broadly flat order intake for Skanska in 2026, a view we think underestimates the strength of demand in both markets. The Construction business alone trades at ~13x EV/EBIT (2026E), below Skanska's own 10-year average. Our thesis was quickly supported during Q2. Pre-announced orders have so far reached SEK ~44bn, up 19% compared with the same point last year. We have a reasonably sized long position in Skanska.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
Protean Select Pontus Dackmo | “Skanska stands to benefit significantly from a global wave of infrastructure investment driven by utility upgrades, the energy transition, AI, and national defense. Despite robust business improvements and high-margin order backlogs under current management, market valuations remain depressed and consensus estimates represent an underestimation of potential demand. This disconnect between improving fundamentals and muted expectations makes Skanska a highly attractive holding.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
