eQ operates in the financial services industry. The company is a brokerage firm and offers a wide range of financial services within corporate finance and asset management. Financial services include a range of structured products, insurance, private equity funds and other investment alternatives. Investments are found across the global financial market and across a number of sectors. The company's headquarters are located in Helsinki.

Sauli is warming up, as eQ will release its Q4 results on Tuesday, Feb 3rd.  In addition to the operational figures, the focus of the report will be particularly on the announcement of the new strategy, which is expected to provide concrete milestones for returning to a path of earnings growth. Although earnings will return to growth on a quarterly basis from a weak comparison period, the result remains under pressure due to issues in real estate funds. Other points of interest in the report include the development and outlook of performance fees from PE funds, as well as potential comments regarding the situation of the real estate funds. The eQ earnings live stream can be followed on InderesTV starting at 7:50 am.                   Inderes              eQ Q4'25 -ennakko: Luvassa poikkeuksellisen kiinnostava raportti - Inderes    eQ julkistaa Q4-tuloksensa tiistaina 3.2.2026 klo 8.00, ja raportin päähuomio kiinnittyy uuden strategian julkistukseen. InderesTV:n tuloslivessä klo 7.50 analysoimme tarkemmin myös PE-rahastojen tuottopalkkioiden kehitystä ja yhtiön näkymiä.

eQ continues recruitments in the international market. https://amwatch.com/AMNews/People/article18834064.ece Here are selected excerpts from the article behind a paywall: Independent asset manager eQ has hired the UK-based fundraising veteran, Sara Hedberg Chance, to support its international expansion, the company reports in a press release. “eQ believes Sara’s experience and relationships will provide excellent support for eQ’s international expansion strategy through international distribution partnerships and institutional investor relationships,” the press release reads. According to Staffan Jåfs, head of private equity at eQ, Sara Hedberg Chance’s “long experience working with Tier-1 Nordic institutional investors is very helpful and is already opening doors for us in Sweden”. I have to say, I’m not entirely sure which press release is being referred to here. At least I couldn’t find any press release on eQ’s own website or by googling  In any case, they have recruited a high-caliber person, and eQ is clearly serious about its international sales. Overall, the company also has a noticeable energetic drive and momentum, it will be very interesting to see what kind of results they achieve next year.

PEs often buy targets from other PEs. However, financial maneuvering is probably not the only thing they do in the company.  During a boom, this happened a lot as valuations kept growing, and a new buyer could expect this to continue during their tenure until they sold to the next buyer at an even higher valuation. Now, the PE-to-PE market is very stuck. Valuations and selling expectations have been pushed too high under the funds relative to comparables and the public market, and there is no room even with this balance sheet maneuvering to increase risk (returns), which would be another option.

PEs often buy targets from other PEs. However, financial engineering doesn’t seem to be the only thing they do in a company.

The most stereotypical private equity (PE) investment targets are small caps in traditional industries. After PE enters, their balance sheets are usually fully leveraged with debt in pursuit of returns. How attractive and generally interesting does a small cap company from a “boring” market sound in this market, one that cannot pay dividends due to too large a debt load? Market hype is at the complete opposite end: mega cap growth TECH from sectors with strong free cash flows (Nvidia, MSFT, Alphabet, etc.) Other PEs don’t buy these because they can’t perform their usual financial maneuvers, as the previous PE has already done so. Valuations of comparable companies in the IPO market are already sluggish. With a good dividend yield, one can sell to the public, but that’s not possible for these companies due to debt. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone why the PE market is stuck. The exit is an interesting question, and how long it will take and what will trigger it? New zero interest rates? Forced sales when the extension of fund lifespans eventually comes to an end? Will it finally be admitted that returns will remain mediocre, below the public stock market?

I shouldn’t consider a significant improvement in results due to the Private Equity market picking up as nearly certain: The valuations of many growth companies have come down in the stock market, and this also pressures PE market valuations. For example, in the Nordics, QT, Admicom, Revenio, Talenom, Novo Nordisk, Ambu, Tomra, Nibe have faced enormous valuation compression, where multiples may have more than halved from earlier levels. Share prices may have fallen 70-80% from their peaks. Thus, it is harder to sell less known businesses if quality can be bought from the stock market at a relatively cheaper price. I acknowledge that the peer group here is completely wrong in relation to PE peers. The purpose is to illustrate what the rise in interest rates did to the average valuation of growth companies. Inderes’ model portfolio is a great example of this: the model portfolio primarily consisted/consists of high P/E growth companies. The consequences have been accordingly in recent years. Can PE exit multiples be defended in the reality of elevated interest rates and declining stock market valuations? There is a huge willingness to sell in the PE market. PwC estimates it to be worth a trillion dollars. Will the bottleneck open without having to lower the price level of the assets for sale?                   linkedin.com              PwC: Private equity firms stuck with $1 trillion in unsold assets | Eric...    “According to accounting firm PwC, private equity firms are sitting on about $1 trillion of unsold assets capital that would typically have been exited under a normal cycle.

It is concerning that this is not just about the 2025 results, but also 2026 and 2027 have decreased on the same scale. It is illustrative that EQ was forecast a year ago to make cumulatively about 150 million in operating profit for 2025-2027. That figure today is about 100 million. Thus, the can has not merely been kicked down the road. The direction of 2026 surprises for EQ is likely downwards. https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/EQ-OYJ-1412428/consensus-revisions/ Communication from within the industry is also quite grim reading: “Per Franzén says inability to raise fresh funds may leave many firms only managing existing investments in coming decade” https://www.ft.com/content/49d2cb79-5e0b-4c71-9258-b3fea4ca70c4
