Time to brew some Evli coffee. 
I myself was huffing and puffing over the report yesterday, wondering what on earth was happening here. Well, when I noticed that Sauli’s comments would be out in the evening, I decided I had to wait for them. However, all in all, things are going well for Evli. To quote Sauli, with this outlook, it’s great to head into the end of the year.
Outlook a notch more positive than expected
Regarding the outlook, the company refined its overly cautious guidance. The company still expects its result to be positive and, in addition, for its comparable operating profit to exceed the 2024 level (EUR 43.3 million). For the first three quarters, the company has accumulated EUR 40.5 million, and thus the guidance will be easily met. The company’s comments on the market situation were again slightly more positive, and generally speaking, the company saw the market situation and customer sentiment as good. It’s easy to agree with this, and in our opinion, the sentiment in the Finnish investment services market has clearly improved over the last 6 months, as geopolitical risks have remained under control and the Helsinki Stock Exchange has also been invited to join the global bull market.
