Earnings: January 29, 2026
Nokia is showing early signs of recovery with sales returning to growth, but last year's one-off revenues are distorting the profit picture. Investors' eyes are on whether new phone models and the network equipment market can confirm the long-term turnaround plan.
Earnings: January 29, 2026
The profit decline for the Nordic banking giant is slowing as falling interest expenses offer some relief. The market is eagerly awaiting to see if improved cost efficiency and the share buyback program can offset the pressure on revenues from falling interest rates.
Earnings: February 3, 2026
Fortum's stock is trading near its yearly high thanks to news of a new data center, but its financial results have been hit by a nuclear power plant outage. Investors are looking for confirmation on whether the profitability of the 'Generation' segment can recover and justify the current high valuation.
Earnings: February 4, 2026
Wärtsilä's profit growth looks strong on paper, but it was largely supported by a one-off asset sale. Without it, growth would have slowed. The results must show whether the core shipping and energy businesses are strong enough to keep the stock near its current highs.
Earnings: February 5, 2026
Metsä Board is in a tough spot – weak demand forced production cuts, pushing the company into a loss. Investors are looking for signs of a market bottom and are hoping to hear when a recovery in demand can be expected in the paperboard sector.
Earnings: February 5, 2026
Kesko presents an interesting contrast: the car trade is booming, but grocery profitability is under pressure. The results will show if the retail giant's strategy can balance consumer caution when filling their shopping baskets.
Earnings: February 5, 2026
The industrial equipment manufacturer has achieved record profitability, and its stock has seen a powerful rally. However, analysts have become cautious – can the company exceed already high expectations, or is the best news already priced in?
Earnings: February 5, 2026
The insurance group's profit doubled thanks to the NOBA bank IPO, but core business growth is more modest. Investors are focused on dividends and how the company plans to use its strong capital position to grow shareholder value.
Earnings: February 6, 2026
The elevator manufacturer has found an antidote to the weakness in China's property market – modernization services are growing robustly. The report must confirm whether the service business can continue to offset the decline in new equipment sales and maintain profitability.
Earnings: February 10, 2026
The tire manufacturer has made an impressive comeback, growing its operating profit by over 400%. The stock is trading at a 52-week high, and investors are looking for confirmation that price hikes and the new factory in Romania can sustain this growth momentum into the new year.
