Stockholm Stock Exchange Faces Broad Decline Amid Mixed Company Performances

The Stockholm Stock Exchange experienced a challenging week ending November 22, 2025, with its OMXS30 index falling 2.1% to close at 2,699 points, down from 2,757 the previous week. The broader OMXSPI index similarly dropped around 2%, settling near 990 points. Despite the overall downturn, a few companies saw gains. AstraZeneca's shares rose over 3% during the week, and Volvo modestly increased by 1.1%, supported by positive developments from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding emission deadlines.

Kinnevik's stock surged 4.07% on Friday following the announcement of CEO Georgi Ganev's resignation, a move highlighted by Cristina Stenbeck. Conversely, Saab endured a significant decline, falling 4.59% on Friday and 8.6% over the week amid concerns related to the U.S. peace plan for the Ukraine conflict. Nonetheless, Saab still holds an impressive year-to-date gain of over 105%.

Other sectors fared worse, with mining and metals stocks like Boliden and Sandvik falling 4.6% and 3.9%, respectively. Adding to market unease, Intellego’s stock was halted after the arrest of its former CEO on serious fraud charges, unsettling private investors.

This week’s stock movements highlight a volatile market environment affected by geopolitical tensions and corporate leadership changes. While some Swedish companies managed to stand out positively, the general trend on the Stockholm Exchange points to caution amidst broader economic uncertainties.
