Kone is a manufacturer of elevators, escalators and automatic doors. Other related products and systems provided by the company include barriers, docking systems and traffic gates. The company's products are sold in all global regions through authorized distributors. Kone was founded in 1910 and is headquartered in Espoo.

Here are Aapeli’s comments regarding the rumors that KONE is interested in increasing its stake in Toshiba.  According to a Bloomberg report, Toshiba is currently considering reducing its stake in its elevator unit, and KONE has reportedly expressed preliminary interest in increasing its ownership in this context. Negotiations appear to be in the early stages, and there is no certainty regarding Toshiba’s final decision yet.                   Inderes              KONEella huhutaan olevan kiinnostusta kasvattaa omistusosuuttaan Toshiba...    Bloombergin uutisen mukaan Toshiba pohtii tällä hetkellä omistusosuutensa laskemista hissiyksiköstään, ja KONE olisi tässä yhteydessä alustavasti indikoinut olevansa kiinnostunut kasvattamaan omistusosuuttaan.

Toshiba is reportedly considering reducing its stake in its elevator unit, Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems. Kone is a strong candidate for the acquisition, as it already owns about a fifth of the unit. The Bloomberg article is behind a paywall. Kone has no business operations of its own in Japan. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-17/toshiba-said-to-mull-cutting-elevator-unit-stake-as-kone-circles

The transition toward becoming a maintenance and service company is progressing. There are fewer and fewer markets for the new equipment business while the Chinese economy is stalled, and India and others are unable to compensate for it. Is Kone gradually becoming a globally operating Lassila-Tikanoja? Let’s hope that the margin levels in the service business remain stable. Significant local competitors will eventually emerge there as well, even in China—this has happened in other industries too.

I’ll post this here, even though most forum members have already spotted the news. KONE is starting change negotiations in Finland, affecting operations at the Hyvinkää factory + R&D. Approximately 840 employees are within the scope of the negotiations, with a reduction need of at most 70 positions. The background for this is a structural change in the new equipment business as well as the need to streamline operations and improve competitiveness.                   Tärkeimmät talousuutiset | Kauppalehti – 9 Feb 26              Kone aloittaa muutosneuvottelut, koskevat 840:tä työntekijää Suomessa    Yhtiö kertoo vähennystarpeeksi enintään 70 työtehtävää Suomessa. Vähennysten syynä on uusien laitteiden liiketoiminnassa tapahtunut rakenteellinen muutos.

Here is a piece by Ilkka Sinervä about Kone and its competitors, especially Otis.   Swiss company Schindler, which is neck-and-neck with Kone in terms of revenue and profitability, has not yet released its results for last year, but the company’s share price also dipped by less than one percent. Asset management veteran Hannu Angervuo classifies elevator companies’ market values and current share price levels as expensive, given P/E ratios in the 23–29 range. ”Elevator companies are expensive compared to earnings. Of course, the companies send increasing maintenance bills to customers every year. But AI giant Nvidia is a cheaper buy relative to its earnings and growth than elevator companies,” Angervuo adds.  Subheadings:  Crosswinds visible in share prices China gap closing slowly Operating profit still down in new equipment Profitability improved in services                    SalkunRakentaja – 9 Feb 26              Koneen kilpailijalla yhä vaikeuksia uusien laitteiden liiketoiminnassa    Koneen ja sen kilpailijan Otiksen tulosraportit kertovat, ettei uusien laitteiden markkinoiden pudotus ole vieläkään saavuttanut pohjakosketusta.

Here is Aapeli’s company report on KONE after Q4.  We reiterate our Reduce recommendation for KONE and our 56 euro target price. The company’s Q4 result was in line with expectations, while orders received exceeded forecasts. The guidance provided for this year was fairly well in line with our expectations, although the lower ends of the guidance ranges appeared cautious in our view. We estimate that the guidance came as a slight disappointment to the market after the recent share price rise. Following the report, we made only minor negative revisions to our forecasts. In our opinion, the valuation of the share is currently on the tight side, and despite the good earnings growth outlook for the coming years, we estimate that the risk-adjusted expected return remains insufficient.                   Inderes              KONE Q4'25: Hyvää kyytiä, mutta kalliilla lipulla - Inderes    Yhtiön Q4-tulos oli linjassa odotusten kanssa, kun taas saadut tilaukset ylittivät ennusteet.

Here are Aapeli’s quick comments on KONE’s Q4 results  KONE released its Q4 report this morning. The Q4 result was well in line with both our and consensus expectations, while orders received exceeded expectations. The guidance provided for 2026, for its part, met expectations quite well in our view.                   Inderes              KONE Q4’25 -pikakommentti: Positiiviselle marginaali- ja tilauskehitykselle...    Q4-tulos oli varsin hyvin linjassa sekä meidän että konsensuksen odotusten kanssa, kun taas saadut tilaukset ylittivät odotukset.
