continuing in Stockholm.

It may not look like a record year like
2017, but with companies from Denmark,
Norway, and the United Kingdom
increasingly considering going public in
Sweden, it seems there is a never-ending
appetite for new companies to IPO in the
Swedish capital Stockholm.
In 2018 about one-third of the newly
listed companies on the Swedish
marketplaces have generally done well.
Smoltek did the best with an increase of
232 percent.
Of last year's companies floating, 32
percent have rising stock prices,
according to the news agency Direkt. The
best among newcomers has been the
nanotechnology company Smoltek, the color
technology company I-Tech, the wound care
company S2 Medical and the hydrogen
company Metacon with increases of over 100
percent each.
Below is a summary of how the 2018 new
float's have done. The compilation refers
to companies that were introduced on
Nasdaq First North, NGM Nordic MTF and
Spotlight Market in Stockholm. The price
trend has been measured from the
introductory offer until the 2018 last
trading day.
