Swedish Companies Face Profit Declines and Stock Pressure in Q3 2025

Several Swedish companies have reported significant financial challenges in the third quarter of 2025, highlighting a difficult economic environment. Wall to Wall Group, specializing in pipe relining, pipe cleaning, and ventilation duct maintenance, posted an operating profit of just 3.6 million SEK for Q3 2025, down sharply from 23.6 million SEK in the same quarter the previous year. Similarly, Arla Plast, a plastic sheet manufacturer, recorded an operating result of 24.1 million SEK, a decline from 32.2 million SEK a year earlier.

In addition to declining profits, Polestar is grappling with stock price pressures. The electric vehicle company received its second warning from Nasdaq in New York due to an excessively low stock price. To address this, Polestar has secured approval for a reverse stock split, a strategic move aimed at stabilizing the stock price and restoring investor confidence. Theo Kjellberg, Polestar's communications chief, indicated that the company is prepared to implement this measure if the share price does not improve sufficiently within the required timeframe.

These developments illustrate the financial and market challenges faced by Swedish companies during this period, with both operating profits and stock valuations under pressure.
