As we enter the second month of 2025, the Stockholm Stock Exchange’s broad index, OMXSGI, has seen a 7% increase. This growth prompts a closer look at the stock trading activity on the popular online bank, Avanza.
Nvidia Dominates
Leading the pack as the most purchased stock this year is chip manufacturer Nvidia. Despite a 17% drop triggered by the launch of a chatbot by Chinese competitor Deepseek, Avanza’s investors seized the opportunity to buy low. Alongside the chip giant, all major Swedish banks, including Swedbank, SEB, Nordea, and Handelsbanken, have experienced an upward trend.
Additionally, Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk has garnered significant attention. Despite a 20% slump in December, following the release of its drug Ozempic, investors have shown patience and confidence in the company’s long-term prospects.
Cooling Off: Electric Cars and Telecom
While Tesla continues its reign as the top-selling stock in January, the electric car manufacturer fell short of revenue and profit expectations in the fourth quarter. The reasons behind this dip remain unclear, but Elon Musk’s company has not met market forecasts.
Following Tesla, telecom company Tele2 and pharmaceutical giant Astra Zeneca have seen the most sell-offs in recent months.
