Why did Lifco rise on 6 October?
Written after the close on
Lifco +0.06% · OMX Stockholm 30 +0.99%
Lifco edged sideways as the market rose. Over the last five trading days Lifco climbed steadily while the Stockholm market barely moved, so the gain was its own rather than a market-wide lift. The likely driver was acquisition news: Lifco agreed to buy Micronova, an Italian maker of custom circuit boards and touchscreens for equipment manufacturers, with about 35 million euros of sales, though Lifco said the deal will not meaningfully affect this year's results. That fits Lifco's usual playbook of small, steady add-on purchases, which investors tend to read as reliable value creation. The next scheduled event is the third-quarter report in late October, which is what to watch next.
