Rauli Juva

Lindex Group operates in the retail sector. The Group manages a number of stores in major shopping centres and large commercial premises located throughout the Nordic market. The Group is a retailer of several brands and the range consists of clothing, shoes and related accessories. The company has its headquarters in Helsinki.

Lindex last distributed dividends in 2013. Lindex’s dividend policy is: “The Board of Directors of Lindex Group Plc has set a dividend distribution target of at least half of the profit generated by the core business. However, the financing required for business growth is taken into account in the dividend level.” Now that dividends could not be paid due to the corporate restructuring that began in 2020, the question arises whether dividends will be distributed next spring only from the profit of 2025 or from the profit of the entire 2021-2025 period? EPS will likely accumulate over €1.5 for the entire period. By the way, Lindex advertises in its annual report: “A clear strategy for creating growth.” I’m laughing a belly laugh  “The Group’s Board of Directors decided on September 25, 2023, to initiate a strategic review to increase shareholder value.”

Last year, on December 17th, the deadline for the strategic review was moved to the first half of 2025. In a news item on June 27, 2025, KL reported: “strategic review continues” until the end of the year. On July 18, 2025, in KL, director Susanne said “will be completed by the end of the year”. Well, there’s time until December 17, 2025, if we follow the old pattern. But if it’s postponed again, they could be a bit more forthcoming with information.

Where are Lindex’s strategic solutions? An IPO on the Stockholm Stock Exchange early in the year to boost e-commerce and develop the business. And Stockmann continues in Lindex’s place in Helsinki? Santa Claus is unlikely to bring new solutions or buyers for Stockmann.

It might be wishful thinking again, but I’ve been casually following Lindex’s online store from time to time. Among their best-selling products are full-price pajamas that seem to be selling like hotcakes, as well as Female Engineering’s underwear (these are, in my opinion, an important product/brand because they are something more than traditional competition with H&M and others. Big potential in Femtech). Regarding Stockmann, there’s news that Finns’ Christmas gift budget has grown from last year, after all, Finns have money sitting in their accounts. With these feelings, I’m holding onto my shares for now, even though, frankly, I don’t expect much from the strategic assessment.

Talouselämä – 15 Nov 25              Osta ja pidä -strategiassa täytyy myös myydä osakkeita – Kim Lindström:...    Sijoittajille suositellaan osta ja pidä -strategiaa. Konkarisijoittaja Kim Lindström ja pankkien asiantuntijat kertovat, missä tilanteissa strategiaa noudattavien kannattaa harkita osakkeiden myyntiä.                             Quote from Kauppalehti headline. The article mentions Lindex and Stokmann department stores. From the text: “Lindex will leave the portfolio as soon as the department store side is resolved.” Many investors probably think the same. Will there then be buyers for Lindex shares, which are presumably more expensive? I, and apparently many other investors, are waiting for Stokmann’s solution and a rise in the share price. Will many shares be put up for sale? Is the situation then “oversold or overbought”? Will the “multiples calculated solely on Lindex’s earnings” materialize? Or does the change/realization require Lindex to be listed on the Swedish stock exchange? The waiting time is long, in this case as well.

I agree with you, of course. I was mostly thinking about the perception of the companies from my perspective, that Nelly was viewed by consumers in a completely different way than they are today, so they have really managed to create a different consumer trust than before, something that Lindex might also be able to do and benefit from.

The April figures for the Swedish clothing market were published this morning. According to Svensk Handel, sales were up 2.9% from last year. Despite the fact that Easter fell in April, warmer weather and growth in e-commerce boosted sales. In the first three months of the year, the market has grown around 2%.

The April figures for the Swedish clothing market were published this morning. According to Svensk Handel, sales were up 2.9% from last year. Despite the fact that Easter fell in April, warmer weather and growth in e-commerce boosted sales. In the first three months of the year, the market has grown around 2%.&#xa0;
Sweden accounts for more than half of the Lindex chain&#x2019;s sales
Sweden is Lindex&apos;s largest market and accounts for more than half of the sales of the Lindex chain (but not the whole group which is also called Lindex). Our Q2&apos;25 revenue forecast for the Lindex segment is roughly flat year-on-year in local currencies. The market performance in April is therefore better than expected. The development of SEK and NOK, which together account for around 70% of the Lindex segment&#x2019;s sales, also affects the company&#x2019;s figures. In our forecasts, the currency effect will turn positive in Q2&#x2019;25 for the first time in a long time, driven by the strengthening of the Swedish krona. For the Group as a whole, Lindex has guided for 0-4% growth in local currencies this year.
Sweden is Bj&#xf6;rn Borg&apos;s largest market, accounting for approximately 35% of total revenue
Our current estimates include that Bj&#xf6;rn Borg will achieve around 2% year-on-year growth in Sweden for Q2&#x2019;25, close to the 3% growth in April for the broader Swedish clothing market. This growth is primarily expected to be driven by strong performance in the company&#x2019;s e-commerce channel, which we estimate to grow by around 10% in Q2&apos;25 (y/y). Bj&#xf6;rn Borg will release its Q1 report tomorrow.&#xa0;
