Nordnet

- Nordnet can glance back on strong quarter with a continued stable inflow of savings and new customers, a high pace of product development and a record-breaking financial performance. Income increased by 20 percent compared with same period last the year to a new record level of SEK 1,289 million. Overall, we can report an operating profit of SEK 904 million for the period April-June - an increase of 24 percent compared with corresponding period in the preceding year and the highest figure to date for Nordnet on a quarterly basis, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.

- Hopeful expectations of a "soft landing" scenario have brought a positive sentiment to the stock market. In addition to the high level in the number of transactions, this optimism is reflected by a high level of customer intake for Nordnet. We are now approaching a total of two million Nordic savers who have chosen Nordnet as their platform, and our annual customer growth is at 11 percent, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.
