Today’s earnings harvest was limited to two annual reports ahead of a busy week. Shares of real estate investment company Investors House rose 11.4 percent to €4.30 in the afternoon, while industrial maintenance service provider Viafin Service gained 1.6 percent to €19.50. The OMX Helsinki 25 slipped 0.2 percent.
Viafin Service reported its strongest year on record. Revenue increased 8.7 percent to €99.6 million, and EBIT rose 11.6 percent to €6.4 million. CEO Heikki Pesu said, “Measured by both EBIT and revenue, the year was the best in our history for the second consecutive time.”
Viafin Service's cash generation was a highlight, with operating cash flow before financing and taxes of €9.7 million and cash conversion of nearly 120 percent. The board proposes a dividend of €0.75 per share. For 2026, Viafin guides revenue of €90–100 million and EBIT of €5.8–7.4 million.
Investors House delivered a strong but transitional result. Net profit fell to €4.6 million after the Apitare sale, yet return on equity reached 13.6 percent. Apitare owns premises which are leased to the Wellbeing Services County of Central Finland until 2041.
CEO Petri Roininen said, “During the year, Investors House became a dividend aristocrat, based on good profitability.” The board proposes a growing dividend of €0.37 per share, even as 2026 is framed as a year of restructuring rather than earnings growth.
