SSE (Stockholm) Market Overviews

Stockholm Stock Market Overview 12/12/2005 –16/12/2005

The last week before Christmas brought both positive and negative results to the companies in Stockholm Stock Market. The firm which was mentioned in our reports many times, Hexagon AB ser. B (HEXA B), has reached the peak in its stock prices ever. Another company mentioned previously is Volvo AB ser. B (VOLV B), which has experienced some increase in share prices after a fall happened this week. Finally, the company which has shown the worst results in the Stock Market and earned relatively the smallest amount of money of approximately €7388.03 per week is Bergman & Beving AB ser. B (BERG B).

Firstly, Hexagon AB ser. B (HEXA B), which is a global technology group, has again proven the position of a leader on Stockholm Stock Market. It has experienced an increase in share prices of €0.46 since the December 12. Besides, the latest price of €23.43 is estimated to be the highest since the establishment of the company. Such result could be explained due to successful performance of the whole Hexagon Group, especially due to the fact that the share capital of Hexagon will be increased by €34618.21 by new issue of 82,000 B-shares, each with a nominal value of €0.42, as was mentioned on the official site of the company in the end of the week. Obviously, the further rise in share prices is expected the next week.

The second company, Volvo AB ser. B (VOLV B), was also quite successful on the Stock Market during the last week. As it was predicted in the latest overview, the price of shares is quite possible to continue growing trough the facts mentioned earlier. Despite the optimistic predictions, the price fell twice in the middle of the week, however, almost recovered on Friday. The closing price was calculated to be €38.31. The events which could have affect the price are published on the company’s official web page, where it is said, that company has received many orders from the Asia of its production. Besides, the company is going to test its new technology, installed in the Volvo trucks (for more information, consult the site www.volvo.com). All in all, Volvo is still a good company to invest money in.

And the company which will be the last in this report is Bergman & Beving AB ser. B (BERG B). It has faced a noticeable increased in stock value of €0.32 from €11.82 to €12.14, which is approximately a rise of 3% per share. However, the company is not doing well with stock selling. Despite the positive tendency of growing share prices, Bergman has sold only 70,000 of shares, which is the smallest amount of the selling compared to the price of shares. Nevertheless, it still can be a good choice of investment, since, according to the information published on the company’s site on Thursday, it is going to acquire Ruuska Group – one of Finland's largest industrial resellers. Most probably, the company will face the further increase in share prices next week.
