The move was an ordinary one for the stock and no company news explains it.
Over the last five trading days, Sectra fell clearly while the OMX Stockholm 30 was roughly flat, so the stock's weakness this week was its own.
The news from earlier in the week, including the Mount Sinai and Meritus Health deals, was already known when the session opened, so it does not explain the latest move.
The market's broad selling in the session is the most likely driver.
Today's move of −0.97% was 0.9 times a normal day's 1.1%. OMX Stockholm 30 moved −1.01% on the same day.
