Husqvarna Reports Q3 Loss as European Mower Demand Weakens
The group also plans to shift selected battery-handheld production from Europe to Asia.
News date:
Husqvarna reported third-quarter sales of SEK 9.012 billion on October 21, 2026, down 2% year on year and 5% organically. Its interim report recorded an operating loss of SEK 334 million, or SEK 246 million excluding items affecting comparability.
European weather, competition and elevated dealer inventories constrained robotic-mower demand. Professional Robotics had a different regional pattern: the United States became its largest sales market, supported by golf applications.
The group also plans to move production of selected battery-powered handheld products from Europe to Asian facilities and external partners. That announced transfer concerns handheld equipment, not a general relocation of Automower production.
