Saab Q3 results 2026: Positioned to capture growing demand

"We delivered a quarter marked by high organic sales growth, significantly increased cash flow and strong order bookings. The growing customer demand is reflected in major contract awards, including Gripen for Ukraine, GlobalEye and an order related to Germany's new frigates.
