0707 GMT - Ericsson shares should react positively to results that beat estimates across the board, with full-year consensus earnings estimates likely to rise by a low-double-digit percentage, JPMorgan analysts write. The results were driven by strong margin improvements in all its business units, they say. The networks business was very strong, with the gross margin improvement the key driver. A key part of the very strong margin was strength in the U.S. business, at least partially driven by customers buying in anticipation of tariffs. "With tariffs now in place but not substantially impacting Ericsson's business yet, there may be risk of weaker U.S. sales in the second quarter or beyond and this could have implication for future margin."
