Ericsson reported weaker-than-expected Q4 2024 earnings, with adjusted EBIT at SEK 9.8 billion, falling short of the SEK 10.35 billion estimate. Revenue reached SEK 72.91 billion, in line with expectations. The company raised its dividend to SEK 2.85 per share, slightly above the SEK 2.83 forecast, though described as restrictive. Despite a 70% year-over-year growth in North American network sales, Ericsson's performance was weighed down by a slump in India sales and challenges in enterprise segments. Shares dropped 10% following the earnings release. The company projects Q1 2025 sales in networks and cloud software to grow at a pace similar to its three-year average. Ericsson's CFO noted strong cash flow but warned of potential setbacks in 2025. The company also highlighted further signs of market stabilization.
