Winston Score History

The full picture

Investor AB is a Swedish holding company that owns large stakes in some of Europe's most well-known businesses. Its portfolio includes major companies like ABB, Atlas Copco, AstraZeneca, SEB, and Ericsson, spanning industries such as industrial equipment, pharmaceuticals, banking, and technology. The Wallenberg family controls Investor AB and has used it to build and manage these ownership stakes for over a century.

Investor AB makes money through dividends, capital gains, and management fees from its portfolio companies, which are spread primarily across Sweden and the broader Nordic region, with significant global exposure through its holdings. The company's main competitive advantage is its long-term ownership model and the Wallenberg family's deep relationships with Swedish industry and government. The key risk is concentration — a large portion of its value is tied to a small number of companies, meaning a downturn in any major holding, particularly Atlas Copco or ABB, could meaningfully impact overall performance.

Strong grower

Investor AB (publ) is growing revenue at 117% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.

Share count broadly stable

+0.0% over 4y

The share count has stayed roughly flat over this period — little dilution or buyback activity.

Diluted shares outstanding: 3.07B (2021) → 3.07B (2025)
