Safello reports its first profitable quarter since the CEO's return, with operating profit of SEK 0.8 million and net profit of SEK 0.7 million for Q3 2026. Operating expenses fell to SEK 7.6 million from SEK 12.9 million a year ago, and the June fee restructuring lifted gross margin to 8.8% in a still-weak market. A return to profitability after losses is a clear positive surprise likely to lift the small-cap share, though management itself cautions that one quarter is only a data point.
