Signals to watch

Leading indicators · one number, the action it implies

⚙️ Segment concentration
Bearing Solutions = 53.7% of revenue

Bearing Solutions is SEK 49.2 bn of the SEK 91.6 bn book — the industrial core that stays in AB SKF post-spin. The watch-item is the mix: keep lifting the aftermarket & services share 37%→40% via condition monitoring, REP contracts and the vehicle aftermarket.

🔁 Aftermarket mix
37% aftermarket vs 40% target

Recurring aftermarket & services are >50% of Industrial revenue. Push condition monitoring and REP contracts across the ~17,000-location network to lift the mix toward target and dampen the cycle.

⏱ Sales velocity
Proposals are the slowest stage

SEK 1.8 bn (data-centre & magnetic bearings) and SEK 1.4 bn (rail high-speed / China & India) are sitting in Proposal. Enforce dated next steps before they age out.

🏭 Factory capacity
84% capacity utilization

6 points of idle capacity against the 90% target across the bearing & specialty lines. Fill it before adding lines — every utilized hour drops to margin.
