Recent placings signal increased market activity

In 2025, we’ve seen several large block trades executed in the Swedish equity capital markets — both in terms of volume and ownership stake. In parallel, there has been a wave of directed share issues, particularly within the real estate sector, alongside a number of completed IPOs. While the rationale for block trades varies — often driven by company- or shareholder-specific factors — the overall signal is clear: market sentiment is turning, confirmed by an increased market activity.

At Polar, we provide independent, time- and cost-efficient solutions for block trades, typically executed through a structured bookbuilding process — an approach demonstrated by our role as Sole Manager and Bookrunner in the SEK 192m sale of IK Partners’ holding in Netel Holding AB (publ).
