Industrivarden A is the voting-share class of Industrivarden AB, the Swedish long-term investment company at the centre of the Handelsbanken sphere. The holding is identical to INDU-C: concentrated positions in world-class Nordic compounders — Volvo (~29%) + Sandvik (~29%) together ~58%, plus Handelsbanken (16%), Essity (11%), Ericsson, Skanska, Alleima. Exemplary long-term active owner: A+ rated, ~3% holding-company leverage, a multi-decade record.
The A-share (voting) typically commands a small premium to the C-share (non-voting). At ~SEK 511, against the live NAV of ~SEK 504 (May 2026), the A-share trades at a ~1.4% premium to NAV — essentially flat. The reported Dec-2025 NAV of SEK 444/share gives an apparent 15.1% premium on the card (stale-NAV artefact). With a ~1.8% yield and NAV compounding as the total-return mechanism, the A-share is a high-quality holding but offers no margin-of-safety entry point at current prices. HOLD.
Against the live NAV (~SEK 504) the A-share trades at a ~1.4% premium — essentially at NAV, with no discount to serve as a cushion. Slightly richer than the C-share's ~4-5% discount to live NAV.
Base SEK 490 (~at live NAV; NAV compounding is the return); bull SEK 560 if holdings compound + the premium to live NAV stays; bear SEK 400 on a Nordic-industrial de-rate or a holding-company discount opening up from the current near-NAV price.
| Scenario | 24m target | Upside | Prob. | Driver |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bull | SEK 560 | +10% | 30% | Holdings compound + A-share premium sustains |
| Base | SEK 490 | -4% | 45% | ~At live NAV; NAV compounding is the return |
| Bear | SEK 400 | -22% | 25% | Nordic-industrial de-rate or holding-co discount opens |
| Prob-weighted | SEK 488 | -4% | 100% | Scenario-weighted expected value |
Volvo/Sandvik/SCA/Essity/SHB compound NAV over time — the primary return driver.
Disciplined, A+-rated, multi-decade Handelsbanken-sphere stewardship.
~3% holding-company leverage — defensive.
A-share voting rights sustain a small structural premium to the C-share.
Industrivarden A is a best-in-class Swedish investment company (identical holdings to INDU-C) running at a small voting premium that puts it roughly at live NAV — no entry-point cushion. HOLD; base SEK 490.
Prefer the C-share if buying passively (narrower premium); A-share for governance-oriented investors.

| Adjustment / figure | Value | Source | Why mttssn treats it this way |
|---|---|---|---|
| 191,553 | — | Reported NAV = market value of equities portfolio (197,473) less net debt (5,920). Per the mttssn NAV bundle, total_equity is set to reported NAV so the card computes P/NAV and discount. | |
| 444 | — | Reported NAV/share at Dec 31, 2025. Cross-check: 191,553 / 431.899 = 443.5 ~ 444 (rounding). Confirms total_equity / shares reproduces reported NAV/share. Identical to INDU-C (same company). | |
| 5,920 | — | Parent-level net debt; positive (net debt, not net cash). Low leverage at 3% of equities portfolio. Used for enterprise value and the net-debt KPI. | |
| 1,343 | — | Cash and cash equivalents at Dec 31, 2025, netted inside the net-debt bridge. | |
| 35,401 | — | Full-year reported net income; mark-to-market driven (dividend income + change in value of shares), used for the portfolio-ROE KPI only. | |
| -113 | — | Reported tax for the period. Minimal for an investment company; no meaningful effective tax rate, so meta.tax_rate is null. | |
| 8.75 | — | Proposed FY2025 dividend, record date April 15, 2026. Basis for the dividend-yield calc. Same per-share dividend on A and C (rank pari passu). | |
| 432 | — | Total shares A+C = 431,899,108 = 431.899 mn. Used for market cap and NAV/share. Same total-share base as INDU-C; A shares carry full vote and rank equally on dividend/NAV. | |
| 511 | — | INDU-A.ST Nasdaq Stockholm price ~SEK 511 in June 2026, triangulated across sources; the 1.71% dividend yield on SEK 8.75 confirms ~511-512. The voting A-share trades ~6% above the C-share (SEK 480.90). | |
| 220,700 | — | Market cap on total A+C shares at the A-share price. Verified: price x shares = 220,700 mn. | |
| 1.151 | — | P/NAV vs the Dec-31 reported NAV. >1 = apparent premium, but this is a STALE-NAV artifact because the portfolio has appreciated since year-end. | |
| 504 | — | Latest monthly NAV/share. Against this the A-share price implies P/NAV 1.014 (~1.4% premium) - the live read versus the stale year-end NAV. Same NAV/share as INDU-C (one company). | |
| -1.4 | — | Live read on the most recent (May 31, 2026) NAV/share: the voting A-share trades at a slight ~1.4% PREMIUM to current NAV (vs the C-share's ~4.6% discount), reflecting the A-share voting premium and Industrivarden's narrow mid-2026 discount. | |
| Volvo 29.4%, Sandvik 28.5%, Handelsbanken 15.6%, Essity 10.6%, SCA 5.3%, Skanska 4.1%, Ericsson 4.0%, Alleima 2.2% | — | Holding weights = market value / total equities portfolio (197,473 mn). Volvo + Sandvik ~58% -> concentration risk. Mirrors the 'Share of value %' column (29/29/16/11/5/4/4/2). | |
| 3% | — | Confirms very low parent leverage and high credit quality - the holding company adds only modest gearing to the underlying listed stakes. |
