Pihlajalinna fell, more than the market, which slipped slightly.

No company news from that session explains the move.

Over the last five trading days the shares eased slightly while the market was roughly flat.

Weak demand and lower revenue in the latest quarter, which missed expectations, are the likely background, along with low trading interest, since the shares sit near their one-year low.

Next, the full-year report is due on Thursday 18 February 2027.

Today's move of −2.19% was 1.8 times a normal day's 1.2%. OMX Helsinki 25 moved −0.56% on the same day.

    Pihlajalinna fell slightly over the week while the OMX Helsinki 25 index rose slightly, so it moved against the market.

    Its outlook for 2026 is revenue of about EUR 540 million and an adjusted EBITA margin near 8 per cent.

    The next earnings report is on 18 February 2027.

  • +2.00% market +1.62% Pihlajalinna rose with the market. Read →

    Pihlajalinna rose with the market.

    OMX Helsinki 25 rose sharply over the same day, so the stock moved in line with the market.

    Over the last five trading days the stock rose slightly, a little more than the market.

    The day's rise most likely reflects broad market strength rather than company news, since the latest company items came before that session.

    The next earnings report is Thursday 18 February 2027, the date to watch next.

  • −1.86% market −1.25% Pihlajalinna fell clearly, in line with the market. Read →

    Pihlajalinna fell clearly, in line with the market.

    The stock fell slightly over the last five trading days while the market was roughly flat.

    The fall was likely driven by the profit warning issued last week and weak demand in healthcare services.

    Next, the company publishes its annual report on Thursday 18 February 2027.

  • −2.43% market +0.22% Pihlajalinna fell slightly over the week while the broader Helsinki market was roughly flat. Read →

    Pihlajalinna fell slightly over the week while the broader Helsinki market was roughly flat.

    The main driver was the company's interim report on 28 October, which showed revenue down sharply, low demand weighing on Healthcare Services profit, and earnings that missed expectations.

    Analysts also trimmed their targets: Nordea lowered its price target, the share price it sees as fair, to 11.50 euros from 13, while keeping its buy rating.

    Trading was about twice a normal day's volume and the shares sat near their lowest close of the past year.

  • −3.24% market −0.14% Pihlajalinna fell as the market was roughly flat. Read →

    Pihlajalinna fell as the market was roughly flat.

    No new company news is dated to that session, so the move reflects earlier news.

    Over the last five trading days Pihlajalinna fell very sharply while the market was roughly unchanged, a very big move for the stock.

    The most likely driver is the profit warning issued on Wednesday last week, when it cut its 2026 guidance, the company's own outlook, and said revenue would fall to about €540 million.

    Analysts cut their targets afterward, with Nordea lowering its target to €13, the price it sees as fair, while keeping its buy rating.

  • +4.40% market +1.92% Pihlajalinna rose sharply without a company-news explanation. Read →

    Pihlajalinna rose sharply without a company-news explanation.

    It rose far more than OMX Helsinki 25, which also rose sharply that day.

    Over the last five trading days the shares fell very sharply while the market was roughly flat.

    The drop followed a profit warning on Wednesday last week, when the company cut its 2026 guidance.

    The company said weak sick leave and lower service use cut revenue, and it expects about €540 million for 2026.

  • −0.69% market −0.38% Pihlajalinna fell slightly, roughly in line with the market. Read →

    Pihlajalinna fell slightly, roughly in line with the market.

    The move was an ordinary one for the stock, and no company news from that session explains it.

    Over the last five trading days Pihlajalinna fell very sharply, much more than OMX Helsinki 25.

    The main driver was a profit warning on Wednesday, when the company cut its 2026 guidance and said revenue and profit would come in lower.

    Next, the interim report for January to September is due Wednesday 28 October.

  • −18.34% market −3.27% Pihlajalinna fell very sharply over the last five trading days, clearly more than the broader Helsinki market. Read →

    Pihlajalinna fell very sharply over the last five trading days, clearly more than the broader Helsinki market.

    The main trigger was a profit warning on Wednesday: the company lowered its 2026 guidance, its forecast for the year, because revenue fell from lower sick leave, reduced service use and outsourcing contract changes.

    Analysts then cut their target prices, the fair value they see for the shares, and the stock stayed near its lowest level of the past year.

    The next earnings report is due on Wednesday 28 October, so that is the event to watch.

  • −15.97% market +0.61% Pihlajalinna fell very sharply, after a profit warning. Read →

    Pihlajalinna fell very sharply, after a profit warning.

    It fell far more than OMX Helsinki 25, which rose slightly over the same session.

    It now expects revenue of about 540 million euros and an adjusted EBITA margin of about 8 percent.

    Revenue is falling partly because outsourcing contracts ended and some housing services were sold.
