Arctic Falls +1.75%
Arctic Falls rose sharply in its last session. Over the last five trading days Arctic Falls rose clearly while the OMX Stockholm 30 — Stockholm's main large-cap index — was roughly unchanged, so the stock moved on its own rather than with the wider market. The likely driver was the publication of its annual report for the past financial year, which put the company's full-year figures in front of investors, with the appointment of a nomination committee (the group that proposes board members ahead of a company's annual meeting) adding a routine governance item. The sharp gain in the latest session came as the market itself rose clearly, but Arctic Falls outpaced it, so company-specific buying likely played a part. What to watch next is the annual general meeting in November, when the board and nomination proposals are put to shareholders.
