Securitas pivots to intelligence-led security with 2030 growth plan

The company’s 2030 roadmap hinges on merging its existing global physical presence with advanced data analytics. By repositioning itself as a strategic advisor, Securitas aims to deliver proactive risk intelligence rather than reactive services. CEO Magnus Ahlqvist stated the move is designed to accelerate the firm's transformation into a partner that utilizes innovation to secure sustainable earnings.

Alongside this shift, the group has formalized a disciplined capital structure. Financial goals now include maintaining an operating cash flow between 80 and 90 percent of operating income, keeping net debt below 2.5x EBITDA, and committing to a dividend policy of 50 to 60 percent of annual net income. These targets prioritize long-term value creation and shareholder returns, with excess capital earmarked for distribution once strategic growth milestones are reached. A detailed roadmap for this transition is scheduled for presentation at the firm’s Capital Markets Day on June 16.
