Sweden’s Ericsson reported a first-quarter core profit that slightly missed market expectations on Friday, as a sales decline in North America caused by tariff uncertainty and prior network investments partly offset growth in other markets. The company reported an adjusted operating profit of 5. 2 billion Swedish crowns ($566 million), excluding restructuring charges, for the first quarter of 2026. Analysts polled by Infront were expecting 5. 4 billion crowns on average.
