    InstallatørGruppen (CPSE:IG) Stock Slides As Margins Hold But Losses Return

    Simply Wall St·08/28/2026 17:35:22
    Listen to the news

    InstallatørGruppen’s stock has been sliding for weeks, yet the latest earnings landed with a different message. The company is still lossmaking at the earnings per share line, but the headline this quarter is margin resilience in a tough construction market. Adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenue, and the adjusted EBITA margin in the first half held at 9.3%, slightly ahead of last year. For a newly listed roll up in technical installation, that kind of early margin discipline is what can keep growth-focused investors interested even after a weak share price run.

    Is InstallatørGruppen’s discounted share price a rare mispricing, or does it simply reflect the losses on the income statement? See how analysts reconcile the 63% fair value gap with current P/S levels in our valuation analysis for InstallatørGruppen

    InstallatørGruppen bull case leans on margin and backlog

    The upbeat narrative around InstallatørGruppen says margin discipline and a record backlog can offset a weak construction market and fund a roll up story. H1 gives some backing to that. Adjusted EBITA margin edged up to 9.3% while the company is still lossmaking at the EPS line, which shows pricing and procurement gains are at least holding in a soft market. Denmark kept margins around 9.3% and Switzerland shifted from a DKK 9m loss to a DKK 19m profit with a 5.8% margin, so the early turnaround box is ticked, even if the gap to Denmark remains. The order book at DKK 4.3b, up strongly year on year with like for like orders higher, supports the claim that postponed winter work and municipal projects are real, not just talk.

    Bear case focuses on losses, cash and execution risk

    The bear narrative argues the stock reflects real risks, not just sentiment. Recent share price weakness, with the stock down over the past week and month, lines up with that caution. Earnings swung from a DKK 10.1m profit in Q2 2025 to a DKK 26.8m loss, and EPS turned from DKK 0.50 to a DKK 0.24 loss per share. That underlines the concern that headline margins can look fine while bottom line profitability lags. Adjusted cash conversion slipped to 71.3% from 97.2% as working capital built with the larger backlog, which matches worries about cash being tied up in receivables and work in progress. Guidance is reiterated and M&A targets remain, yet the dependence on H2 seasonality and backlog conversion keeps execution risk squarely in view.
