Svanberg swell

Financial Times; Apr 30, 2003


A tad more esprit de corps at Sweden's Ericsson yesterday. The results presentation by chief executive Carl-Henric Svanberg, 50 - only in his third week at the group - was more confident than any managed by predecessor Kurt Hellström after 18 years. Indeed, the sense that the telecommunications equipment manufacturer may at last be getting a grip on its costs helped drive the shares up 20 per cent, which did not harm the outlook for Svanberg himself.

He spent SKr 100m (€11m) buying Ericsson shares in February when he agreed to take the job. Yesterday's surge means he is sitting on a SKr 15m gain, although that was not something on which he dwelt while announcing a further 7,000 job cuts.
