Anyone who knows me knows that I like to dive deep into the engine room.
And I have found a newcomer from Sweden for you.
Of course, the whole thing fits in well with today's correction in some growth stocks, such as Scandinavian Astor . $ASTOR (-0.04%)

The speed with which Scandinavian Astor Group has become profitable seems - soberly considered - remarkable. remarkable .
⚙️ What really impresses
Within a year, the company has made the leap from losses to positive results:
- In the previous year, EBITDA amounted to SEK -3.9 million
- In Q3 2025, it was already SEK +15 million
- Earnings before taxes turned from SEK -8.3 million to SEK +3 million
This is an extremely rapid operational turnaround for a young industrial and defense company.
📈 Why this is so strong
- Scaling takes effect: Sales +78 % YoY in Q3 2025
- EBITDA margin ~20 % - unusually high for a company of this size
- Record order intake of SEK 144 million Sustainably supports profitability
This shows: Profitability does not come from one-off effects, but from genuine growth in demand.
🧭 My conclusion
From an analytical point of view, the faster than average. Many small caps need 3-5 years to become profitable - Astor does it in a fraction of the time. That speaks for:
- a functioning business model
- strong demand in the defense sector
- good cost management
- operational levers that take effect early on
