Description: ERIC Telefonaktiebolaget LM October 14, 2025
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) designs, manufactures, and services mobile-connectivity solutions for telecom operators, enterprises, and public-sector customers, operating through four segments: Networks; Cloud Software & Services; Enterprise; and Other (RedBee Media). The firm’s heritage dates back to 1876, and it is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.
In the Networks segment, Ericsson supplies end-to-end radio access network (RAN) hardware-including antennas, radios, baseband compute, and software-plus transport gear, active/passive antenna systems, and related deployment services. The Cloud Software & Services segment delivers core-network platforms, OSS/BSS, network-management and cognitive-network tools, and managed services. The Enterprise segment focuses on private cellular networks, vehicle and IoT connectivity, and a global communications platform, while the Other segment (RedBee Media) produces and distributes live and on-demand video for broadcasters and sports leagues.
Geographically, Ericsson’s revenue is broadly diversified, with roughly 40 % generated in North America, 30 % in Europe, and the remaining 30 % split among Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, reflecting its global customer base.
Key recent metrics (2023 fiscal year, per the company’s annual report) include total revenue of $27.5 billion, a net profit margin of 6.2 %, and free cash flow of $3.1 billion. The firm captured an estimated 30 % share of the worldwide 5G RAN market, and its order backlog stood at $31 billion, indicating multi-year revenue visibility. A material driver of future performance is the global telecom-capex cycle, where 5G rollout and the emerging 6G research agenda are expected to sustain demand for RAN and software solutions, but the pace is sensitive to macro-economic conditions such as interest-rate-driven spending constraints.
