Here are Antti’s comments regarding Scanfil’s recent announcements ![]()
Scanfil announced on Thursday its guidance for 2026. The midpoints of the wide guidance ranges were well in line with our current forecasts. We do not initially believe that the guidance will cause significant pressure for changes to our or the consensus forecasts for Scanfil’s current year. However, the guidance, which hit expectations, slightly lowers the risks related to the organic and inorganic growth and earnings growth we have forecasted for this year.
Scanfil announced on Thursday that it is investing EUR 9 million in the expansion of its factory in Suzhou, China. With the investment, the factory’s floor area will more than double. In Scanfil’s strategy, the Suzhou factory focuses especially on the local Chinese market, where we understand the company has performed well in recent years. It supports long-term organic growth, but does not cause immediate changes to our forecasts, either in terms of investments or our growth or earnings forecasts.
