MilDef Group (OM:MILDEF) is expanding its Rosersberg production and office hub, adding 7,600 square meters to support higher defense sector demand and increased commitments following a framework agreement with Sweden’s Defense Materiel Administration.
Recent trading suggests investors are leaning into this expansion story, with MilDef Group’s share price at SEK238.0 after a 16.32% 30 day share price return and a 98.33% year to date share price return, while the 5 year total shareholder return of 429.82% reflects a strong longer term payoff profile.

MilDef Group now appears to be a larger, more committed defense supplier, and the share price has surged ahead of that story. The next step is simple: does the current valuation still leave enough upside potential?
On the current numbers, the most followed narrative sees MilDef Group’s fair value at SEK243.88 versus the SEK238.0 last close, which keeps the valuation debate finely balanced while leaning slightly toward upside.
The surge in order intake (up 116% YoY, with 58% organic growth) and the record SEK 3.2 billion order backlog, underpinned by increased NATO/EU defense budgets and mandates for higher spending, is viewed by some market participants as a factor that may support MilDef’s positioning. In addition, ongoing digitalization initiatives within armed forces, including a pronounced focus on advanced system integration, software, secure networks, and data-driven defense, are described as contributing to more systems contracts and a shift toward higher-margin service offerings.
See why 21 investors see MilDef Group as 2% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of SEK243.88 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the MilDef Group story can break if large European defense contracts are delayed, or if complex systems projects create costly execution and delivery setbacks.
