Ericsson AB earnings beat analysts’ forecasts in the fourth quarter, as the Swedish telecommunications equipment maker’s efforts to cut costs and boost margins in a sluggish market paid off.

Given the expected trends, Ericsson will boost investment into defense, it said. Its Finnish rival Nokia Oyj is also increasingly looking to defense as a growth market.
