Consid continues to grow – operating profit more than doubles in the third quarter
Consid continues to demonstrate its strength in a challenging consultancy market. In the third quarter of 2026, revenue increased by 7.2 per cent to SEK 670.1 million, while operating profit rose by more than 150 per cent to SEK 28.1 million. With improved profitability, continued growth and revenue exceeding SEK 3.1 billion over the past twelve months, Consid further strengthens its position as one of the leading players in AI, IT and digital transformation.
The third quarter marked another period of positive development for Consid, as the company continued to combine growth with increasingly strong profitability. Despite a market where recovery remains uneven, Consid continues to demonstrate momentum and a business that is moving forward.
Revenue amounted to SEK 670.1 million, compared with SEK 625.2 million in the corresponding period last year. Operating profit increased from SEK 11.2 million to SEK 28.1 million, representing an improvement of more than 150 per cent. The operating margin rose from 1.8 to 4.2 per cent.
“We continue to demonstrate that growth and improved profitability can go hand in hand, even in a market that remains challenging. Increasing our revenue while more than doubling our operating profit is a tremendous achievement. It reflects the dedication, expertise and entrepreneurial spirit that run throughout our organisation. I am incredibly proud of what we are achieving together,” says Peter Hellgren, CEO and founder of Consid.
A strong business built for the long term
Consid’s performance during the quarter highlights the strength of its long-term strategy, centred on close client relationships, specialist expertise and the ability to respond to evolving market needs.
As AI, digital transformation and technological innovation become increasingly important to the competitiveness of businesses and organisations, Consid continues to develop its business and deliver value to its clients.
With revenue exceeding SEK 3.1 billion over the past twelve months, the company has established a strong foundation for continued development and future investment.
“We have never built Consid with a short-term mindset. Our ambition has always been to create something that lasts, growing alongside our clients and employees. We have a strong culture, a clear sense of purpose and an organisation that is constantly looking ahead. It is precisely this combination that enables us to keep evolving and taking the next steps,” says Peter Hellgren.
Positive performance in a cautious market
The Swedish consultancy market continues to experience an uneven recovery, with demand varying across industries and client segments. Against this backdrop, Consid’s performance stands out.
With revenue growth of 7.2 per cent and an increase in operating profit of more than 150 per cent, the company demonstrates that there are significant opportunities for continued development, even in challenging market conditions.
The improved operating margin is another indication of this positive momentum, showing how increased business volumes are translating into stronger financial performance.
“We are very aware of the challenges in the market, but we also see tremendous opportunities ahead. The demand for digital transformation, innovation and AI-driven change remains strong. Our role is to help our clients turn these opportunities into tangible business value. We have the expertise, experience and ambition to make a real difference,” says Peter Hellgren.
Strong position heading into 2027
Following a successful third quarter, Consid enters the final months of the year with improved profitability and a continued focus on growth.
This positive development provides a solid foundation for further investment in expertise, stronger client relationships and new business opportunities.
“We are far from finished. We have ambitious plans for Consid’s continued development and see significant opportunities to strengthen our position even further. It is about staying curious, challenging ourselves and creating real value for our clients. With the energy and commitment across our organisation, combined with the results we are now delivering, I look to the future with great confidence,” concludes Peter Hellgren.
