Hiab, Vaisala, and Telia moved higher after today’s first-quarter earnings, while Kemira and Terveystalo declined, underscoring a split market reaction across Nordic listed companies.

Hiab, which provides load handling equipment and services for logistics and construction, led the group with a 10.3 percent gain in the afternoon. Orders increased 7 percent organically to EUR 402 million, and the order book expanded, even as sales fell 7 percent. Comparable operating profit margin improved sequentially to 13.5 percent, suggesting some stabilization in profitability despite lower volumes.

Vaisala, a measurement technology company serving industries such as weather, energy, and data centers, followed with a 3.4 percent rise. Orders grew 5 percent, and net sales increased slightly. Profitability remained steady, with an EBITA margin of 15.1 percent. Growth was supported by its industrial measurements segment, while other business areas were more stable.

Helsinki-listed telecom operator Telia gained 3.1 percent. Revenue remained flat at SEK 20.0 billion, but service revenue increased 2.1 percent. Adjusted EBITDA rose 4.0 percent, and net income more than doubled year over year to SEK 1.8 billion. The results point to improved profitability alongside limited top-line growth.
